Fact-Checking Policy

Halchal India News is committed to publishing verified, accurate information. Our reporters and editors follow a structured fact-checking process before any story goes live.

1. Verification Standards

• Every factual claim is verified from at least two independent, credible sources.
• Primary sources (official statements, court documents, government data) are preferred over secondary reporting.
• Images and videos are verified for authenticity, date and location before publication.
• Data and statistics are cross-checked against the original source.

2. Sources

We rely on official government releases, court records, verified press conferences, reputable wire services, and on-the-record interviews. Social-media content is treated as a lead, not as evidence, until independently verified.

3. Handling Misinformation

We do not amplify unverified rumours. When we cover a viral claim to debunk or contextualise it, we label the story clearly and provide evidence for our conclusions.

4. Non-partisanship & Fairness

Our fact-checking is non-partisan. We apply the same verification standard to statements from every political party, government, business or public figure.

5. Corrections

If a published story is later found to contain an error, we correct it in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
