Picture- A screenshot (on Google Maps App) showing the place temporarily closed.
Hello, Local Guides Team,
Fort William Kolkata is the Army Headquarters of Eastern Command in India. On the map, it is showing temporarily closed, which is actually false information. This Army headquarter is always open. I have tried once to re-open this place, but that could not be verified. Yesterday I have clicked one picture in front of Gate No-3 (I have attached the picture below) of Fort William, which also shows the place is open.
If Google Maps is working in India as it does here, you can just tap Suggest an edit, and you will see the option to reopen the place. Super simple and super fast.
The fort is categorised as Fortress, @PritishB and, as you can see, it is a claimed Listing.
Fortress is normally used to classify a kind of Historical places, and probably it has been automatically “temporary closed” by Google My Business according to the indication of the Local Government.
In addition the place is claimed, as you can see from the listing in Google Maps.
So it would be not an issue for the owner of the listing to re-open the place, while it will be difficult to do this for a Local Guide, as the place have an owner
Thanks @ErmesT@KalyanPal for your concern and comments. But this place is not a business place. This is Army Headquarters (as mentioned in my post, also information available in internet)! If you quickly click the location and go through the nearby campus, it will be clear to you.
What I am telling you is how the place appear to be on Google Maps.
Why the place is not categorised with the correct Category, that is Military Base?
Who claimed the place? The army, or is the place stolen by someone else?
These are the questions we need to answer first, if we want to understand what is wrong and how to fix it. What I am trying to explain is that if we do not understand what we have on Maps, fix an issue will be extremely difficult, if not impossible
As the place is claimed, you should report the issue on Google My Business Help Community , for them to check first what I wrong in there.
