Misleading information at http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/government

[Rajat Roy]

At Ubuntu website - http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/government

One of the information provided is misleading, i.e., "Punjab Government, Pakistan".

It can be verified from Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab,_India - that Punjab is in India. I have attached an image as to where the mistake is. Hope! it gets corrected, Thank you!

Hi Rajit

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

From what I can tell, as allisistfroh points out, there are two parts to the Punjab province, one in India and one in Pakistan.

I believe that the specific government scheme that the graphic is referring to is from the government of the Pakistan province, but we are just confirming this internally.

Hi Rajit

I've confirmed that the image is indeed referring to this scheme from the Government of Punjab in Pakistan. For more information on the scheme see these links:

I'm going to close this as "wont-fix".

Thanks,
