An old image of a mistranslated airport sign has started doing rounds on the internet again.
The image reads “Farsh par khaana sakht mana hai,” translating to “Eating on the floor is strictly prohibited.” However, the translation mentioned is “Eating carpet is strictly prohibited.” The word “on” remains missing.
Several internet users have discovered it on Twitter and went ahead to tag the Airport Authority of India (AAI).
Following this, Union aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri took it upon himself to tweet a clarification, stating that the image is morphed.
The minister also that the Airports Authority of India (AAI) had issued a clarification on the morphed sign in 2019 as well when it had resurfaced on social media.
