We get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we fix it openly.
How we handle corrections
When an article contains a factual error, we correct the article and add a note at the foot of the page recording what was wrong, what it now says, and when the change was made.
We do not remove errors silently. A reader who saw the original version is entitled to know it changed.
A typical note reads:
Correction, 19 September 2026: An earlier version of this article stated the tournament prize pool was ₹50 lakh. The correct figure is ₹40 lakh. This has been corrected.
What counts as a correction
Factual errors — wrong names, figures, dates, results, attributions — are corrected with a note.
Significant revisions, where new information materially changes the story, carry an update note explaining what changed and when.
Minor fixes — typography, spelling, broken links, formatting — are made without a note, as they do not alter meaning.
Developing stories are updated as events unfold, with the update time shown. Where an earlier version said something we later learned was wrong, that is noted.
Requesting a correction
Write to [email protected] with the article URL, what you believe is incorrect, and any source supporting the correct version.
We aim to respond within two working days. If we agree there is an error, we correct it promptly. If we disagree, we explain why.
Removal requests
We do not remove published articles because a subject has changed their mind, or because the coverage is unflattering. We will consider removal or amendment where an article is factually wrong and cannot be corrected, where publication would put someone at risk, or where we are legally required to act.
Requests under India’s data protection law or a valid legal notice should be sent to [email protected] with supporting detail.
