Gao in Lok Sabha said that the Survey of India, which prepared the Atlas during British

rule, has kept out several areas of the state from the national map.

"In Angie Valley, which is located in remote eastern part of Anini district of Arunachal Pradesh, is drawn more than 100 kms inside Chinese territory", Gao said, on the floor of the Lower House.
