Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Unsubstantiated claims

Presenting evaluative or success claims without supporting data or independent verification.

«बुटवल उपमहानगरपालिकाका प्रमुख प्रशासकीय अधिकृत मित्रमणि खनालले गत वर्षहरूमा भएका कमजोरी सुधार गर्दै अघि बढेकाले यस पटक उपमहानगरमा उत्कृष्ट बन्न सफल भएको बताए । ‘हाम्रो प्रयास देशमै उत्कृष्ट बन्ने थियो,’ उनले भने, ‘तैपनि उपमहानगरहरुमा पहिलो बन्दा खुसी नै छौँ ।’» Here, the official attributes success to improvement of past weaknesses and expresses an ambition to be the best in the country. The article does not provide comparative data, scores, or independent commentary to substantiate these evaluative claims.

3 suggestions

Add concrete comparative data from the commission’s evaluation (e.g., numerical scores, ranking table, or specific indicator values) to support the claim that Butwal improved past weaknesses and became first among sub-metropolitan cities.

Include a brief explanation from the evaluating commission or an independent expert confirming which specific weaknesses were improved and how that affected the ranking.

Clarify that these are the official’s opinions by adding framing language such as: «खनालको दाबी अनुसार…» or «उनको भनाइमा…» and then contrast with neutral data from the evaluation report.

Selective use of sources / Unbalanced reporting

Relying on a single source or perspective, especially from the directly interested party, without including other relevant viewpoints.

The article quotes only the chief administrative officer of Butwal Sub-metropolitan City, who has a direct interest in portraying the result positively. There are no quotes or perspectives from the evaluation commission, other sub-metropolitan cities, or independent analysts about the ranking or methodology.

3 suggestions

Add a quote or summary from the evaluation commission explaining why Butwal ranked first among the 11 sub-metropolitan cities and how the scoring was done.

Include at least one brief reaction from another sub-metropolitan city (for example, how they view the results or what they plan to improve) to balance the focus on Butwal.

Mention any limitations or caveats noted by the commission about the evaluation process, if available, to avoid relying solely on the beneficiary’s narrative.
