Visa stamped - Surname mismatch in Machine-readable zone on Passport & Visa

[sameer3.b]

I have a peculiar situation. I hope one of you can point me to the right direction.

I am in India right now. My passport was reissued (after 10 years) while I was in the US. The reissued passport had an alphabet missing in my surname. My surname was very lengthy and the last alphabet...
