Is Pokhara in Mid-Western Development Region?

I have been using Google Maps for many years now and there's a big factual error on the Map that is not fixed to the date.

 

In Google Maps, Pokhara is shown as a place in Mid-Western Development Region, which is actually not true and has to be Western Development Region.

How can we change this, I searched many ways but couldn't do it? Can I seek for help from moderators?

 

P.S. I live in Pokhara and I am very aware that Pokhara lies on Western Development Region of Nepal.

Pokhara, Mid-Western Development Region, Nepal

Actually, I already reported or tried sending feedback, did it months ago but still no change, I think only one report of such case does not count.

Thanks for pointing out this issue once again @LuzanB, I have given feedback multiple times via Google Maps app but so far no any progress. Probably mentioning mods here might help things expedite. @Corrie @TraciC 

 

Plus name of lot of places in Nepal are misnamed or contain typo - probably phonetic translation has been done.

There are several errors in Gmaps related to Pokhara, Nepal and the Western and Mid-Western Development Regions in Nepal.

When one searches for Mid-Western Development Region, Gmaps shows an area titled "Mid-Western Development Region" with this URL:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mid-Western+Development+Region,+Nepal/@29.0566036,81.2130695,8z/da...

 

However, when one searches for Western Development Region, Gmaps shows a second area, but it is incorrectly titled "Mid-Western Development Region". It has this URL:  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mid-Western+Development+Region,+Nepal/@28.3258049,82.8203536,8z/da...

 

So, the search function in Gmaps is, I believe, showing me the correct boundaries for the Western region --with Pokhara inside-- but it gives it the wrong name and that wrong name is included in it's URL.

 

Request that Google change the name of the political area, at https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mid-Western+Development+Region,+Nepal/@28.3258049,82.8203536,8z/da... to "Western Development Region".   After that change is published, see if that automatically changes the "address" of Pokhara to Pokhara, Western Development Region, Nepal".  I think that it will change it without requiring another request.
