Epic Fail: Radio Pakistan's Weather Forecast For Ladakh Leaves Internet In Splits
Pakistan's radio broadcaster, Radio Pakistan, put out a tweet on Sunday with maximum and minimum temperatures in Ladakh. However it was trolled by Twitteratis as the weather forecast was broadcasted with a major flaw.
Pakistan's radio broadcaster, Radio Pakistan, put out a tweet on Sunday with maximum and minimum temperatures in Ladakh, albeit with a glaring error.
The tweet from the Pakistani Twitter handle read: "In Ladakh, maximum temperature is -4 degree centigrade and minimum temperature is -1 degree centigrade."

The problem? -4 degree centigrade was lower than -1 degree centigrade, and therefore cannot be the maximum temperature. The tweet was later taken down by Radio Pakistan.
Radio Pakistan's tweet had come in retaliation to the India Meteorological Department's move to refer to meteorological sub-division of Jammu and Kashmir as Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Muzaffarabad. Gilgit-Baltistan and Muzaffarabad are part of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
Radio Pakistan's tweet aimed at levelling scores with India led to brutal trolling on social media:

Radio Pakistan was broadcasting how the victorious Pakistani Army had destroyed the Indian Army and was rapidly marching towards Delhi to capture Red Fort well after #Pakistan had surrendered to #India in 1971 and nearly 100000 Pakistani PoWs were eating Indian rotis. So. pic.twitter.com/lXv8YHar9t

On Friday, Amit Khare, the Secretary of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, ordered national broadcaster DD News and All India Radio to broadcast weather reports of PoK towns of Mirpur, Muzaffarabad and Gilgit-Baltistan.
India¡¯s decision to begin weather forecasts of regions under PoK came after the India Meteorological Department placed Gilgit-Baltistan, Muzaffarabad and Mirpur under the Jammu and Kashmir subdivision last week.
