In the above game , look at the cell which is in 6th row from top and 8th row from left. It says 1 , which means it must have only one neighboring cell which will have mine but there are two cells which have mine and they surround this cell. Cell in 7th row and 8th column and 7th row and 9th column. How is this possible? Is this board inconsistent or I misunderstood the rules of game?

The board is consistent, but your logic is flawed: you've added a flag to a non-mine space. That's what the crossed out mine next to the red mine means:
Other mines that are displayed at the end of the game are ones that you haven't flagged yet. The remaining flags were correct - they mark the space of a mine.
To confirm, note the '2' in (R7,C6) means that the clicked mine (red background) and the mis-flag (crossed mine) cannot co-exist next to each other, they couldn't both be a mine:
Thus, at the point just before the mine was detonated, the 2 wasn't logically solvable yet. However, the 3 next to the clicked mine would confirm that the mine you clicked had to have been a mine; there's only 3 unchecked positions surrounding it and one of them is the detonated mine:

dam, beat me to it. was going to point that out. was also going to point out that the 3 in R7:C9 it only had 3 places around it. so it more or less indicates the spot under the 1 is a mine and this would also match the 4 under it
