Editorial standards

Where information comes from

We work from public-interest sources that permit reuse or summarisation: government and municipal websites, official press releases, gazettes, tender portals, disaster-management advisories and department social accounts. We summarise in our own words and never reproduce copyrighted articles.

How AI is used — and where it stops

An AI research pipeline gathers candidate sources, removes duplicates, cross-checks claims against each other, drafts an answer-first summary and produces Marathi and Hindi versions. The AI never publishes. Every draft waits in the newsroom queue until a human editor reviews the claims, the sources and the confidence label.

Confidence labels

• Confirmed — stated by the responsible official source.
• Reported — carried by a credible outlet but not confirmed by the department.
• Developing — situation is changing; details may be revised.
• Unverified — recorded for awareness, source check pending.

Corrections

We fix errors on the page and log them publicly in the corrections log. Time-sensitive alerts are updated rather than left stale.

Limits

This is an information desk, not a government channel. For legal, financial or emergency decisions, always confirm with the responsible department using the source links on each page.
