“The initiative is aimed at making people aware of various public welfare schemes of the state government,” said a CMO official. “The move will ensure administrative transparency and accountability,” said the official. The facebook pag which got more than 360 likes by Wednesday evening, also started posting news of activities such as the visit of Chief minister Naveen Patnaik to Cuttack. A few weeks earlier, the CMO has joined twitter, though the account is yet to be verified.
Officials Wednesday said CMO_Odisha — the official twitter handle of the CMO — will now regularly update information regarding medical assistance made to various people from the Chief Minister’s relief fund. Details such as the name of the patient and the amount of medical assistant will be part of the update. PNN
