At Jan Himachal, we are committed to accurate, ethical, and responsible journalism. Every piece of content we publish undergoes careful verification, and we take all reasonable measures to ensure that the information presented is factual, fair, and free from misrepresentation.

However, as part of our accountability to readers, we recognize that errors may occasionally occur. This Fact-Check & Correction Policy outlines how we verify information, respond to factual disputes, and correct inaccuracies when they arise.

1. Commitment to Accuracy

We believe that credibility begins with accuracy. All reports, articles, or digital publications on Jan Himachal are verified through reliable primary or secondary sources before publication. Our editorial team follows these principles:

• Information is confirmed with official documents, government releases, verified press statements, or direct interviews whenever possible.
• When third-party sources or public submissions are used, they are cross-checked for authenticity and attribution.
• We avoid speculative, misleading, or unverified claims in headlines, images, and social posts.

2. Fact-Checking Process

Before publication, our editorial team ensures that:

1. Each factual claim is reviewed by at least one editorial member.
2. Sensitive information (legal, political, or public-interest) is supported by official or credible evidence.
3. Data and statistics are cited with clear references to their original sources.
4. Content that involves allegations or disputes is balanced with responses from all relevant parties whenever reasonably possible.
