False “Road Closed” Reports on Google Maps—Request for Stricter Verification (Surathkal, Mangaluru)

Well, @ShailendraOjha is correct, if roads are managed in the proper ways.
Public administrations have a preferential way to manage/update roads existence and status, if they want to do that. The problem is that most of the time they are unaware of the possibility or simply don’t want to invest a bit of resources in there.
A few years ago I was walking through the city of San Francisco (CA-USA) when I saw a message in Google Maps: Road temporary closed for the veterans parade. So I wanted to learn more about that feature.
Public administrations have the possibility to Partner with Google Maps through the https://contentpartners.maps.google.com
In that way they have a preferential Access to the information in Google Maps, as you can see from the link shared above and the help page: Content requirements: specifications for sharing data - Maps Content Partners Help
I used it once on behalf of a Local Administration in my country. It runs smoothly and the changes are updated very quickly
