In the original publication of this article (Shirazi et al., 2016) the author figured out that in the Fig. 1, the upper left corner Map of Pakistan was inappropriate as per the national policy. In map of Pakistan, Jammu & Kashmir (occupied by India) must be shown annexed with Pakistan while mentioning Azad Jammu & Kashmir as disputed territory.

Location map showing Lahore—the study area

Since map was prepared in mapping software (ArcGIS) developed by ESRI, USA, and this software shows Azad Kashmir as part of Pakistan while the Jammu & Kashmir occupied by India is shown with the India by default.

Keeping in view the above facts, the author requested to replace the map in the article with the corrected map.
