Xiaomi claimed that the glitch was caused due to use of “data from multiple third-party sources”. The smartphone maker asserted that it is committed to India and its users across the country to provide them with the best possible user experience.

It is learnt that Arunachal Pradesh’s capital city Itanagar and other cities are now again visible on the app.
