Hi @saumitra_baishya , and welcome to Connect, the official community of the Google Local Guides.
First of all I would like to ask you to provide more details. This will help the readers to better understand the problem.
Also, to fix the issue, the following information are needed:

  • Can you share a link with the position of the wrong roads?
  • What is the actual name of each road in Google Maps?
  • What is the right name of each road?
  • Do you have a link to an Official cartography public accessible issued by a local authority, where the right name is clearly visible?

Of course you can try to edit the names by yourself, but the chance to have them approved is really very low.
The reason is that Maps only trust Official documents and official names of roads.

When you have all the information mentioned above, my suggestion is to create a spreadsheet, with the following information, for every road that need to be modified: Link to the road in Google Maps; Actual name of the road; Official name of the road.

After that you can Write a post on the Help Community using the link provided by @Kumaarsantosh , and attaching all the info (spreadsheet and cartography). In this way a Product Expert will have the possibility to analyze the issue and escalate it to the team.

Thank you for your help

I also want to inform you that, to keep connect organized, I am changing the category of your post to Google Maps tips & tricks - Local Guides Connect, where it fits better.
I am also adding the hashtag road-editing and removing accessibility , that is not related to your content
