19 May 2026

  • Feature update

    Added a structured Risk / caveat layer to promise details. New optional risk_note field on each promise stores a short plain-language explanation that accompanies the existing risk_flags badges, kept visually separate from the verdict on expanded promise cards. Methodology rewritten as 'Verdict vs Risk flag'.

    Old:
    Risk flags rendered only as badges; risk reasoning embedded inside long reviewer-note narrative. No dedicated Risk/caveat panel in the expanded card. No backfilled risk_notes on PB22-01.01/02, PB22-02.01/02, HP22-02.01, HP22-04.02, GA22-01.12, GA22-01.13, GA22-02.01, GA22-04.02, GJ22-08.02, GJ22-02.01, GJ22-17.01. Punjab electricity 'what we found' did not state the 300 → 600 unit operationalisation.
    New:
    Added risk_note column. Backfilled risk_note on 11 rows (PB22-01.01/02, PB22-02.01/02, HP22-02.01, HP22-04.02, GA22-01.12, GA22-02.01, GJ22-08.02, GJ22-02.01, GJ22-17.01) and added 'Official tracker missing' risk flag + risk_note to GA22-01.13 (EV-taxi subsidy) and GA22-04.02 (Greenfield Electronics Cluster). Refined PB22-01.01/02 what_we_found to '300 units/month, operationalised as 600 units per billing cycle.' Expanded PromiseCard now renders a dedicated 'Risk / caveat' panel above the reviewer note with flags + note + a 'risk is separate from verdict' disclaimer.

    Reviewer note: No verdict changes. No new fully_audited promotions. No public counter changes on any state (Goa Fulfilled 1, In progress 48, Broken / No proof 115; Punjab, Himachal, Gujarat, UP all unchanged). No media used as primary source. No URLs invented. Methodology section 10 rewritten as 'Verdict vs Risk flag' with the canonical separation copy.

  • Verdict update

    Cross-state risk-flag audit across Goa, Himachal, Punjab and Gujarat. Introduced a separate risk_flags layer (delayed rollout, limited rollout, fiscal sustainability risk, spending not CAG-verified, operational issue, low uptake, official tracker missing, statewide delivery not proven, scale not proven, budget allocation does not prove expenditure) so caveats can sit alongside verdicts instead of being forced into them.

    Old:
    GA22-02.01 (three free LPG cylinders): In progress with no narrowing/non-delivery caveat. GA22-01.12 (100 EV charging stations), GA22-01.14 (EV mini e-bus subsidy), GA22-04.02 (Greenfield Electronics Cluster), HP22-04.02 (1 lakh jobs / first cabinet decision), HP22-02.01 (₹1,500/month women scheme), PB22-01.01 / PB22-01.02 (300 units free electricity), PB22-02.01 / PB22-02.02 (women ₹1,000), GJ22-08.02 (Schools of Excellence ₹10,000 cr), GJ22-02.01 (₹25,000 cr irrigation expansion), GJ22-17.01 (Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana 2.0 ₹1 lakh cr): no risk-flag layer; caveats only inside long narrative.
    New:
    GA22-02.01 → Verdict moved In progress → Broken / No proof; risk flags Delayed rollout, Fiscal sustainability risk, Statewide delivery not proven. GA22-01.12 → flags Operational issue, Official tracker missing (verdict unchanged). GA22-01.14 → flags Low uptake, Official tracker missing (verdict unchanged). GA22-04.02 → flag Official tracker missing (verdict unchanged). HP22-04.02 → flags Official tracker missing, Scale not proven (verdict unchanged). HP22-02.01 → flags Limited rollout, Fiscal sustainability risk (verdict unchanged). PB22-01.01 / PB22-01.02 → flag Fiscal sustainability risk; reviewer note clarifies 300 units/month implemented as 600 units per billing cycle (verdict Fulfilled unchanged). PB22-02.01 / PB22-02.02 → flags Delayed rollout, Statewide delivery not proven; reviewer note clarifies 2022 promise vs 2026 rollout (verdict Partially Fulfilled unchanged). GJ22-08.02, GJ22-02.01, GJ22-17.01 → flags Spending not CAG-verified, Budget allocation does not prove expenditure (verdicts unchanged).

    Reviewer note: Only the Goa LPG row (GA22-02.01) had a verdict change. No new fully_audited promotions on any state. No media used as primary source where official source exists. No URLs invented. Methodology updated with a new section explaining that verdicts and risk flags are separate layers. Counters: Goa Fulfilled drops from 1 to 1 (unchanged) but In progress moves 49 → 48 and Broken / No proof moves 114 → 115 because of the GA22-02.01 reclassification; Himachal, Punjab and Gujarat verdict counters unchanged; UP untouched.

  • Verdict updateGoa

    Goa targeted audit corrections on seven manifesto rows after external review against official Goa Tourism, CMO Goa / Goa Agriculture (Amritkal Agriculture Policy 2025), Goa Fisheries (PMMSY), Goa SPCB, Goa State Tax / PPAC and Goa Social Welfare (DSSS) sources.

    Old:
    GA22-09.05 (Caravan Tourism): Fulfilled but cited to an unrelated 9RBD Amendment Act PDF on dpse.goa.gov.in. GA22-06.04 (Khazan Land Management Policy), GA22-06.13 (Horticulture policy), GA22-06.06 (Inland fishing IFFS), GA22-10.08 (Single-use plastic ban): all Broken / No proof. GA22-10.01 (No petrol/diesel duty hike for 3 years) and GA22-03.06 (Senior pension Rs 3,000): Broken / No proof with generic gap notes.
    New:
    GA22-09.05 → source URL replaced with official Goa Tourism Caravan Tourism Policy page (goatourism.gov.in/caravan-tourism-policy/); verdict and fully_audited=true retained. GA22-06.04 → In progress on Goa Amritkal Agriculture Policy 2025 (khazan revival provisions) plus June 2025 Khazan Land Management Plan. GA22-06.13 → In progress on Amritkal Policy 2025 establishing Coconut, Cashew & Mango Development Board and horticulture coverage. GA22-06.06 → In progress on Goa Fisheries PMMSY portal (freshwater aquaculture subsidies, biofloc, RAS) — delivery via PMMSY components, not the exact named IFFS. GA22-10.08 → In progress on Goa SPCB single-use plastic notification effective 1 July 2022 (notified ban, enforcement weak). GA22-10.01 → kept Broken / No proof; gap note strengthened to require full Goa State Tax + PPAC rate history across the March 2022 to March 2025 window. GA22-03.06 → kept Broken / No proof; shortfall note added (current DSSS rate Rs 2,000, announced hike only to Rs 2,500, still short of the Rs 3,000 promise).

    Reviewer note: No new fully_audited promotions on the four In-progress upgrades — exact financial / coverage / beneficiary delivery not yet proven. fully_audited count for Goa unchanged at 1 (GA22-09.05). New Goa public counters: Fulfilled 1, In progress 49, Broken / No proof 114, Review pending 0 (total 164). Gujarat, Punjab, Himachal and UP rows untouched.

  • Dataset expansionGoa

    Added Goa 2022 BJP Sankalp Patra as the fourth live state. Imported 164 tracked promises from the final source-audited CSV. Goa launches as Source-audited beta with 1 fulfilled promise, 45 in progress, 118 broken/no proof, and 1 fully audited row. No existing Gujarat, Punjab, or Himachal data was modified.

    Reviewer note: Source-status distribution: 10 Official source attached, 17 Candidate source identified, 137 Official source needed. RTI likely flagged on 163 of 164 rows. Total live promises across states is now 346 (Gujarat 114, Punjab 31, Himachal 37, Goa 164).

18 May 2026

  • Verdict updatePunjab

    Punjab targeted audit corrections on seven manifesto rows after external review against official Punjab Police / Yudh Nashian Virudh, Department of Health & Family Welfare / OOAT, PGRKAM (Mission Rozgar), Punjab Budget 2022-23 and SSWCD sources.

    Old:
    PB22-09.01 (Drug-free Punjab): Not Proven. PB22-09.02 (De-addiction / rehabilitation): No Public Data Available. PB22-05.01 (Employment generation): Not Proven. PB22-04.06 (16 new medical colleges): Not Proven. PB22-03.05 (Fill vacant teacher posts): Not Proven. PB22-02.01 / PB22-02.02 (₹1,000/month women): Partially Fulfilled with no explicit 2022-promise/2026-rollout timing caveat in gap note. All seven rows showed audit_status 'Relevant evidence review pending' despite finalised verdicts.
    New:
    PB22-09.01 → In Progress; gap note records Yudh Nashian Virudh enforcement (arrests, FIRs, seizures) with district-wise outcomes, relapse data and de-addiction outcomes still needed. PB22-09.02 → In Progress; Punjab DHFW OOAT page attached as candidate source; centre-wise capacity, admissions and rehabilitation outcomes still needed. PB22-05.01 → In Progress; PGRKAM portal promoted to primary official source; no current-term employment-generation tracker found, department-wise data still needed. PB22-04.06 → In Progress; gap note records Budget 2022-23 sanctioning of 16 medical colleges over five years with operational seats / completion still unproven. PB22-03.05 → In Progress; gap note records visible recruitment activity but sanctioned-vs-vacant-vs-filled teacher post data from PERB / School Education Dept still needed. PB22-02.01 / PB22-02.02 → verdicts unchanged (Partially Fulfilled / rollout started, not fulfilled); gap notes now carry an explicit timing caveat that the 2022 promise only began rollout in 2026 with pilot/registration ahead of statewide payment completion. All seven rows moved from audit_status 'Relevant evidence review pending' to 'Source audit in progress' to match their finalised verdicts.

    Reviewer note: No new fully_audited promotions (Punjab stays at 1). No media used as primary proof where official source exists. No URLs invented (Punjab Police / ANTF page not yet attached on PB22-09.01 pending a stable official URL). New Punjab public counters: Fulfilled 3, In progress 22, Broken / No proof 6, Review pending 0 (total 31). Gujarat (114 / fully_audited 3) and Himachal (37 / fully_audited 1) untouched; UP unchanged.

  • Verdict updateGujarat

    Gujarat targeted audit corrections on six manifesto rows after external review against official Indextb / PMMSY / Budget / GMRC sources.

    Old:
    GJ22-04.01, GJ22-04.02, GJ22-04.04, GJ22-11.01: Not Proven. GJ22-10.01: Not Proven with Times of India article in the primary source slot. GJ22-37.01: Fulfilled with no timeline-slippage caveat in gap note.
    New:
    GJ22-04.01 (Sea Food Park, South Gujarat) → In Progress; Indextb (Valsad) added as candidate official source. GJ22-04.02 (Sea Food Park, Saurashtra) → In Progress; Indextb (Porbandar) added as candidate; Cof Gujarat scheme page moved to secondary. GJ22-04.04 (fishing jetties) → In Progress; gap note records harbour/jetty work under PMMSY (Navabandar, Madhwad, Veraval Phase 2, Porbandar Phase 2, Sutrapada, Smart Blue Harbour) with jetty-wise completion still needed. GJ22-11.01 (4 Gujarat Institute of Technology) → In Progress; gap note records ~₹100 cr Budget allocation funding one GIT vs four promised. GJ22-10.01 (20 lakh employment) → kept at Not Proven / Broken / No proof: ToI demoted to secondary, primary cleared, official_source_status set to 'Official source needed' because no government tracker exists for the 2022-term 20 lakh target. GJ22-37.01 (Gandhinagar Metro) → Fulfilled / fully_audited unchanged; gap note now records timeline-slippage caveat (physical completion verified; time-bound element slipped against earlier announced timelines).

    Reviewer note: No new fully_audited promotions (Gujarat stays at 3). No invented URLs (Indextb attached at homepage/agency level as candidate official source pending specific project-document URL). New Gujarat public counters: Fulfilled 4, In progress 63, Broken / No proof 47, Review pending 0 (total 114). Punjab (31 / fully_audited 1), Himachal (37 / fully_audited 1), UP untouched.

  • Source updateHimachal Pradesh

    Himachal final source audit sprint: weak-source rows reviewed, source statuses cleaned, and remaining official evidence gaps documented in a standard 'promise / source found / proves / doesn't prove / needed' format.

    Old:
    13 Himachal rows had media/manifesto coverage sitting in the primary source slot (HP22-07.01, 08.04, 08.05, 09.02, 12.01, 14.01, 16.01, 20.01, 21.01, 23.01, 24.01, 26.01, 27.01) with vague or topic-level source_gap_notes. Source-status distribution: 19 'Official source attached', 7 'Candidate source identified', 1 'Official source needed', 2 'Public reference only'.
    New:
    For each of the 13 rows: media/manifesto URL demoted to secondary (kept as public context), primary cleared, official_source_status set to 'Official source needed', source_strength set to 'Official source needed', rti_likely=true, source_gap_note rewritten in the standard 5-part form naming the specific document still required (department notification, budget head, beneficiary data, dashboard, or RTI response). New Himachal source-status distribution: 17 'Official source attached', 14 'Official source needed', 6 'Candidate source identified'. No verdicts changed. No row upgraded to Fulfilled. fully_audited stays at 1 (HP22-01.01 only). No URLs invented. Public counters unchanged: Fulfilled 1, In progress 15, Broken / No proof 21, Review pending 0 (total 37).

    Reviewer note: Sprint deliberately conservative: no new official URLs were attached without primary-source proof of delivery. Each remaining 'Official source needed' row now explicitly states which document is missing, so an RTI sprint or department-page sweep can pick them up directly. Gujarat (114 / fully_audited 3) and Punjab (31 / fully_audited 1) untouched.

  • Verdict updateHimachal Pradesh

    Himachal audit corrections applied to four rows after evidence re-review. HP22-03.01 confirmed already correct (Not Fulfilled / Broken Promise).

    Old:
    HP22-11.01: No Public Data Available. HP22-04.02: Not Proven. HP22-09.01: HPTDC Devbhoomi Darshan used as primary 'evidence' of free pilgrimage. HP22-06.01: source note didn't flag dilution from 4-per-constituency to ~1 Rajiv Gandhi Day Boarding School.
    New:
    HP22-11.01 (Urban employment / MMSAGY) → In Progress (continued implementation under pre-Congress scheme; ud.hp.gov.in MMSAGY page + FY 2025-26 notification cited; beneficiary/expenditure data still needed). HP22-04.02 (first-cabinet 1 lakh jobs) → In Progress with note that cabinet decision text and appointment data at promised scale not yet proven. HP22-09.01 (free pilgrimage) → HPTDC link demoted to secondary; source_gap_note now records the HPTDC package is paid / pre-existing and does NOT prove the Congress free-pilgrimage promise; verdict held at No Public Data Available. HP22-06.01 (English-medium schools) → source_gap_note rewritten to flag partial/diluted rollout (Rajiv Gandhi Day Boarding Schools, generally one per constituency, vs four English-medium schools per constituency promised); verdict stays In Progress. No row marked fully_audited. Original promise wording untouched.

    Reviewer note: Himachal public counters after this batch: Fulfilled 1, In progress 15, Broken / No proof 21, Review pending 0. fully_audited remains 1 (HP22-01.01). Gujarat (114 / fully_audited 3) and Punjab (31 / fully_audited 1) untouched. No sources invented; no media report used as primary where official source exists.

  • Verdict updateHimachal PradeshHP22-03.01

    HP22-03.01 (300 units of free electricity) reclassified from Partially Fulfilled to Not Fulfilled / Broken Promise. Public label group also updated: 'No proof found' renamed to 'Broken / No proof' across the site to combine genuinely undelivered promises with promises lacking sufficient public proof.

    Old:
    verdict / final_verdict / public_verdict_bucket: Partially Fulfilled. source_gap_note referenced HPERC tariff/subsidy order for FY 2026-27 as still required.
    New:
    verdict / final_verdict / public_verdict_bucket: Not Fulfilled / Broken Promise. Public-display label: 'Broken / No proof'. source_gap_note rewritten to record HPSEBL/HPERC FY 2026-27 tariff data: 0–125 unit slab effectively free via pre-Congress GoHP subsidy; 126–300 unit slab tariff ₹5.89/unit with ₹1.72/unit subsidy = effective ~₹4.17/unit (not free); Tribune (4 Apr 2026 withdrawal, 6 Apr 2026 restoration) treated as partial-subsidy episode, not promise fulfilment. fully_audited stays false. rti_likely set to true. Detailed verdict and audit trail preserved.

    Reviewer note: Public label grouping updated site-wide: Fulfilled / Policy Delivered → Fulfilled; Partially Fulfilled + In Progress → In progress; Not Fulfilled / Broken Promise + Not Proven + No Public Data Available → Broken / No proof; Not yet reviewed → Review pending (shown only when count > 0). Methodology page now explains that Broken / No proof combines two audit situations and the detailed verdict in each promise card clarifies which one applies. Original 2022 promise wording unchanged. No other Himachal rows, and no Gujarat / Punjab / UP rows, were touched. No sources invented.

  • Source updateHimachal Pradesh

    Duplicate/audit-question cleanup: removed internal verification rows from public promise counts and merged their audit questions into the relevant promise cards.

    Old:
    HP22-02.02 ('Verify whether the Rs 1,500/month benefit has reached all promised eligible women aged 18–60.') existed as a separate promise row, duplicating HP22-02.01. Himachal total: 38.
    New:
    HP22-02.02 deleted (it was an internal coverage-audit question, not a manifesto promise). Its audit content merged into HP22-02.01.source_gap_note: 'Scheme rollout and partial beneficiary payments are visible, but statewide coverage of all promised eligible women aged 18–60 is not yet proven. Department-wise beneficiary list and payment data still required.' HP22-02.01.rti_likely set to true. Himachal total: 37. Fulfilled remains 1. fully_audited remains 1. Gujarat (114) and Punjab (31) untouched. No verdicts, source URLs, or fully_audited flags changed on any other row.

    Reviewer note: Sweep of audit-question patterns (Verify/Check/Assess/Track/Measure/Confirm/Validate whether…, implementation reached, benefit reached all, delivery completion, audit/evidence/source/RTI needed) across Gujarat, Punjab, Himachal returned exactly one match: HP22-02.02. Duplicate-pair scan (same parent_item_number + category) reviewed; all other multi-row groups are real distinct sub-promises and were left untouched.

16 May 2026

  • Source updateCross-state

    Fulfilled verdict verification corrections applied: GJ22-05.01 official source strengthened, PB22-06.03 direct notification search performed, and GJ22-08.02 fully_audited removed pending year-wise Rs 10,000 crore expenditure verification.

    Old:
    GJ22-05.01 primary: Times of India (media). PB22-06.03 source_gap_note: 'Direct gazette PDF for Notification No. 17-Leg./2022 to be linked from punjab.gov.in/impnotifications archive when surfaced.' GJ22-08.02 fully_audited: true. Strictly fulfilled rows in scope: 8 (GJ22-03.05, GJ22-05.01, GJ22-28.01, GJ22-37.01, PB22-01.01, PB22-01.02, PB22-06.03, HP22-01.01) — verification report initially mis-stated this as 7.
    New:
    GJ22-05.01 primary swapped to magujarat.com (Mukhyamantri Amrutum — Health & FW Dept) with ToI moved to secondary; source_strength upgraded to 'Official government source (MA Yojana, Gujarat Health & FW Dept)'; verdict (Fulfilled / Policy Delivered) unchanged; fully_audited deliberately not promoted (Rs 10 lakh enhancement GR text + beneficiary count still preferred). PB22-06.03: direct Punjab Gazette PDF for Notification No. 17-Leg./2022 searched and not surfaced on 16 May 2026; primary (punjab.gov.in/impnotifications) and verdict (Fulfilled / policy enacted) unchanged; source_gap_note updated to record the outstanding direct-Gazette artefact and confirm fully_audited correctly withheld. GJ22-08.02 fully_audited set to false per project core rule (sources prove launch + initial tranche, not full Rs 10,000 cr / 5-year spend); verdict (In progress) and attached sources unchanged. Counters: Gujarat fully_audited 4 -> 3, Fulfilled verdicts 4. Punjab fully_audited 1, Fulfilled verdicts 3. Himachal fully_audited 1, Fulfilled verdicts 1. Totals unchanged (GJ 114 / PB 31 / HP 38).

    Reviewer note: No original promise wording changed. No verdicts changed. No URLs invented. Only the three rows named above touched. Count inconsistency in the earlier verification report (said 7, listed 8) corrected here for the audit trail.

  • Verdict updateGujarat

    GJ22-03.05 farmer accidental insurance reviewed after external audit; official Directorate of Agriculture Gujarat page confirms Rs 4 lakh assistance for main death/permanent disability category.

    Old:
    Earlier same-day downgrade had set verdict to Not proven on the basis that only Rs 2 lakh coverage was visible in public references and no official GR was located.
    New:
    verdict: Fulfilled · final_verdict: Fulfilled · public_verdict_bucket: Fulfilled / Policy Delivered · fully_audited: true · official_source_status: Official source attached · source_strength: Official government source · source_url_primary: dag.gujarat.gov.in scheme page listing Rs 4,00,000 for accidental death / 100% permanent disability and certain severe disability categories, and Rs 2,00,000 for loss of one eye or one limb. Promise was to raise Khedut Akasmat Vima Yojana cover to Rs 3 lakh; current official department page shows Rs 4 lakh for the main category, exceeding the manifesto commitment. Gujarat total remains 114. Punjab (31) and Himachal (38) untouched.

    Reviewer note: fully_audited = true is justified under project rule: original promise ceiling (Rs 3 lakh) is clearly below the Rs 4 lakh shown on the official source, the source is the implementing department (DAG Gujarat), and the URL is saved as source_url_primary. Older media/scheme summaries quoting Rs 2 lakh are treated as outdated relative to the current official department page.

  • Verdict updatePunjab

    Punjab Verdict Finalisation Sprint — conservative tightening on 8 rows before beta launch. No source URLs or original guarantee wording changed.

    Old:
    Verdict distribution: Fulfilled/Policy Delivered 3 · Partially Fulfilled 5 · In Progress 11 · Not Proven 11 · No Public Data 1. fully_audited: 1. rti_likely: 18.
    New:
    Verdict distribution: Fulfilled/Policy Delivered 3 · Partially Fulfilled 4 · In Progress 12 · Not Proven 11 · No Public Data 1. fully_audited: 1 (PB22-01.01 only). rti_likely: 18. All 31 Punjab rows now at review_level = 'Verdict finalised'. Softened: PB22-02.01 (pilot-only acknowledged), PB22-03.03/03.04 (verdict text aligned to existing Not Proven bucket), PB22-03.06 (media-only sources flagged), PB22-03.07 (cashless-medical sub-claim flagged unproven), PB22-04.01 (Fulfilled → Partially fulfilled to match bucket), PB22-04.03 (party press release excluded as final proof, bucket moved Partially Fulfilled → In Progress), PB22-11.01 (continuing pre-AAP scheme).

    Reviewer note: Conservative pass: no upgrades. Media reports and party/CM claims were not used as final proof. PB22-01.01 fully_audited retained — PSPCL Commercial Circular 06/2025 directly continues the 300-unit free-power regime. PB22-06.03 (One MLA One Pension) kept as Fulfilled/Policy Delivered — Act actually notified by Punjab Govt per LiveLaw legal reporting and govt notifications index; primary remains punjab.gov.in/impnotifications. No fake URLs added. Gujarat (114 promises, fully_audited 3) and Himachal (38, fully_audited 1) untouched.

  • Source updatePunjab

    Punjab Deep Source Sprint — verdict-specific PSPCL circular attached to free-electricity rows; PB22-01.01 promoted to fully_audited.

    Old:
    Official source attached: 14 · Candidate source identified: 15 · rti_likely: 18 · fully_audited: 0.
    New:
    Official source attached: 14 · Candidate source identified: 15 · rti_likely: 17 · fully_audited: 1. PB22-01.01 primary swapped from Finance budget index to PSPCL Commercial Circular 06/2025 (docs.pspcl.in) which directly continues the free-power subsidy under GoP letter no. POWER-PR/28/2024-POWER REFORMS/213 dated 11.03.2025 for FY 2025-26 — verdict (Fulfilled) directly proved by the implementing utility; rti_likely cleared. PB22-01.02 primary swapped to the same PSPCL circular; verdict and fully_audited unchanged (per-household bill-reduction data still pending).

    Reviewer note: Bar applied per project rule: fully_audited = true only when the official source directly supports the specific verdict, not just topic existence. PB22-01.01 cleared the bar — PSPCL is the implementing utility and the FY 2025-26 tariff circular is the operative regulatory document continuing the 300-unit free-power regime. Fully_audited rejected for the rest of the priority list (PB22-04.01 Mohalla Clinics, PB22-04.04 ₹10 lakh health cover, PB22-06.01 anti-corruption helpline, PB22-06.03 One MLA One Pension, PB22-11.01 free bus travel for women, PB22-05.02 govt jobs) because no verdict-specific official artefact with numbers or implementation status surfaced (only topic-level or index pages). No fabricated URLs. No verdicts, original wording, or other Punjab rows modified. Gujarat (114, fully_audited 3) and Himachal (38, fully_audited 1) untouched.

  • Source updatePunjab

    Punjab RTI Batch 1 cleanup: four additional promises marked RTI-likely for department-level implementation data.

    Old:
    rti_likely flag: 14.
    New:
    rti_likely flag: 18. Newly flagged: PB22-03.02 (teacher regularisation order/counts), PB22-04.01 (Aam Aadmi Clinics district-wise operational count & footfall), PB22-04.04 (₹10 lakh health cover notification & beneficiary/claims data), PB22-05.02 (department-wise sanctioned-vs-filled govt jobs since 16 March 2022).

    Reviewer note: RTI Batch 1 analysis identified that these four promises have official/topic-level evidence (vigilance page, PDC clinics page, finance budget, recruitment portal) but department-level implementation data still missing. Source-gap notes appended with the specific department (School Education / H&FW / State Health Agency / Dept of Personnel) and missing dataset. No verdict, source URL, original wording, official_source_status, or fully_audited values changed. Gujarat (114, fully_audited 3) and Himachal (38, fully_audited 1) untouched.
