On May 1, 2025, the West Bengal government faced public backlash after a bizarre error appeared in a newspaper advertisement promoting the newly inaugurated Jagannath Temple in Digha. The ad included a map that mistakenly featured a location labeled “Female Vibrators in Digha,” positioned between Amrabati Park and Jagannath Ghat. The blunder coincided with the Pran Pratishtha ceremony attended by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The ₹250 crore temple, modeled after Puri’s Jagannath Temple, was meant to boost tourism. The map error, likely from an unedited screenshot, sparked social media outrage and political criticism over quality control in official materials. (PC: India Today)
