Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi landed in a controversy after some Indian cities and states which includes Arunachal Pradesh went missing on its weather app. As soon as the issue was spotted smartphone maker was trolled brutally on Twitter on Sunday (October 18).

The company was quick to clarify that the error was due to a technical glitch and has been rectified.

However, the social media users did not take it lightly and slammed Xiaomi for supporting China’s claim over Arunachal Pradesh. Notably, the Chinese foreign ministry had recently said that it does not recognise the Union Territory of Ladakh "illegally established" by India, and the state of Arunachal Pradesh. 

Clarifying the issue Xiaomi said that the glitch was caused due to use of “data from multiple third-party sources”. The smartphone maker assured that it is committed to providing India and its users across the country with the best possible experience.

After fixing the issue, Itanagar, the capital of Arunachal Pradesh and other cities now seem to be visible on the app

Relations between India and China touched a new low after People’s Liberation Army brutally attacked Indian troops near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh. Twenty Indian soldiers were martyred in the clashes, while the Chinese side refrained from giving out the numbers.

The Chinese company last month had launched its MIUI 12 to Redmi Note 9 Pro handsets in India. Some more handsets like the MIUI  are expected to be brought in by Xiaomi soon.
