After a row over the ‘London Book of World Records’ recognition for Karnataka’s Shakti scheme and the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), the London Book of Records issued a clarification defending its decision. The London Book of World Records has issued a clarification in response to what it described as “defaming and tarnishing” reports published on social media platforms. In a release, the London Book of World Records stated that social media posts had created confusion regarding its registration and functioning. It clarified that the London Book of Records is a privately registered company under the Companies Act of 2006, with its registered office in England and Wales, and service offices in Pune and Delhi. The organisation defended its recognition of the KSRTC and Shakti scheme for empowering women.
