"We have probed 91 out of the 218 complaints and ordered corrections," a ministry of national languages and integration ministry spokesman told AFP.

"Offenders have been given two weeks to correct or face legal action," spokesman Mahendra Harishchandra said.

Harishchandra said one of the signs, highlighted by local media, on public buses around the country was meant to say seats "reserved for pregnant women" but instead used the Tamil word for "dogs".

"We investigated this and found it was a genuine mistake by the artist who painted the sign.
