What you see is not an "error" but a disputed boundary. Please do not change these boundaries. These boundaries are disputed between several parties and we do not want a situation where each side changes the boundaries to what they believe to be "correct" once a day.

If you need an OpenStreetMap map that shows the boundaries according to Indian law, this is available from www.openstreetmap.in; OpenStreetMap itself is not subject to Indian law.
