Widespread False Road Closures on NH66 in Dakshina Kannada – Misleading Navigation and Delivery Routing

Thank you for the tag, @ShailendraOjha
Welcome to Connect and thank hank you for your post, @Rahul_Madhyastha .
In fact this seems to be a massive attack


Of course everyone of us have the possibility, knowing the real situation of a road, to deny the closure status, but there is no warranty that it works.
A road closure can be reported

  • by an official partner (a local government officer) through a specific procedure, or by users, like it appears on the screenshot shared here.
  • by suggesting an edit (that seems to be the method used here)
  • by reporting the closure while driving, with Google Maps on navigation mode

As this seems to be an attack, and all the reports that I checked where confirmed just 4 minutes ago, I will escalate it immediately to @MoniDi , to quickly reach the Google Maps team for fixing the issue and identifying the people behind this action.
Hope it will be fixed quickly


Thank you again for your report
