Sources
Every update on TrackMySarkar must be backed by a verifiable public source. Here are the types of sources we accept.
Our sourcing principles
- ✓Every status update must link to a specific, dated, publicly accessible source.
- ✓We prefer primary sources (official government documents) over secondary ones (news reports).
- ✓A single news outlet reporting alone is insufficient for significant status changes — we look for corroboration.
- ✗Social media posts, unofficial statements, or anonymous sources are never used.
- ✗Party press releases alone are not considered sufficient — they are one party's claim and must be independently verifiable.
