Hi @KetanParmar02, this is not my project, so I can't assign the issue to you.
But I guess, you could just fix this issue (create a pull request with the fix) as long as you follow the rules of this project..

BTW: If you are experimenting with how to contribute to GitHub projects / how pull request work and are looking for more issues like this (about broken links), the issues I opened in these projects during the last month could be interesting:

What you want to do is creating a pull request. This is a video about it.

Fork the repository
Clone the fork
Create a new branch and name it like you want (e.g. "linkfix")
Fix the broken link in a text editor of your choice. Save the file..
Create a commit with a message that you fixed the hyperlink and mention "#1294" so that one knows that it's about this issue.
Push the commit to your fork of the project
Go to GitHub and open the page of your fork. There should be a yellow notification asking you to create a pull request. Do that..
Wait until the project owner(s) accept your pull request
