Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy

At Namaste Bidar, credibility is our core asset. Every report published on our portal adheres to strict editorial verification guidelines:

1. Source Verification

  • Two-Source Rule: Sensitive claims, crime reports, and administrative allegations are verified through at least two independent sources or official police/government records before publication.
  • Right of Reply: When an allegation is made against an individual, public official, or organization, we make every effort to include their official response in the same report.

2. Handling Viral Social Media & WhatsApp Forwards

We do not publish unverified viral videos, photos, or messages circulating on WhatsApp or social media. All visual media undergoes reverse-image verification, timestamp checks, and local ground confirmation before publication.

3. Separation of News & Sponsored Content

Paid advertisements, advertorials, and promotional features are clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement”.

4. Corrections & Updates Policy

If an error occurs in any published report, we update the article promptly and add a clear “Correction / Update Note” at the bottom of the story. To report an inaccuracy, email newsdesk@namastebidar.com or namastebidar@gmail.com.
