The verification of Twitter handles of all Odisha government Departments comes at a time when the State administration is fighting COVIID-19 pandemic.
In fact, the Twitter handles of most of the Department of the State government had few followers till the pandemic started spreading in March.
The followers of these handles, however, grew fast when people started following them to find out what was happening around them, to air their grievances and highlight the problems they were facing.
The grievances of many people are being redressed with the feedback from the people at large, according to officials.
The State government’s Mo Sarkar initiative based on the 5Ts — transparency, teamwork, technology, time and transformation – aims at transforming governance and making it more accountable to the people.
