 * Comment: Can the reviewer give me a bit of time after passing this nomination? As these type of articles in the region (South Asia) don't have a lot of coverage on Wikipedia and have a lot of redlinks, if one can be so kind as to give me a bit of time to cover these redlinks, I would be extremely obliged.

Is there a citation available for this sentence: "The Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India acts as the administrative chief of the Prime Minister's Office and as a result, a significant amount of power over the daily-affairs of the Government of India is wielded by it." ?

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, and first did some copyediting. (The article is really overusing em-dashes; I only removed two, but more could be removed.) The main issue is a lack of citations in the box. Could you source the fact that each of these served as Principal Secretary? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 01:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I added the appropriate citation for the list as a whole. Please feel free to format differently if you chose. Flibirigit (talk) 03:20, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
