# cabsec_all: Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India

Documents published by the Cabinet Secretariat at <https://cabsec.gov.in>, mirrored as plain files.
This dataset holds the files only. The metadata (titles, dates, source URLs, Wayback and archive.org links)
is in the GitHub repo under `input/documents/<collection>/`.

## Layout
