I think you are correct. I don't have local knowledge, but it looks like it might have the name of a shopping area ("Akbar Arcade") which could go on a building or area polygon, a note ("Near Nri Concept School) and possibly a city/town/village ("Vanasthalipuram") which could go into addr:city=* Thank you. Yesterday was my first day exploring Openstreetmap. I read the wiki, however the dataset was replete with the above mentioned errors - hence the doubt. :D

Unfortunately things are not always as they should be. I've found tagging errors to be somewhat more common in India than in Canada (the other country I do most of my mapping in), but nowhere is the data perfect.
Feel free to fix things! More people mapping in India would be great, and one of the great things about OSM is that it is possible to fix problems, and fill in missing information.
and try to contact the previous mapper, inform him/her friendly about the proper tagging, especially when the one mapper makes the same mistake over and over
