Raj Niwas will now also do social media management. The Lieutenant Governor’s Secretariat will appoint a social media agency for this, so that important issues related to the general public can be dealt with.

The Lieutenant Governor’s Secretariat says that the coordination between the Delhi government and other agencies of Delhi and the common people will increase. This secretariat works as a forum. In all these works, continuous dialogue and discussion with the people of Delhi will be possible. Along with this, factual information about fake news, misinformation and false propaganda on various social media platforms can be conveyed to the people. Rs 1.5 crore will be spent on this every year. Posts will be made transparent on this platform.
The Lieutenant Governor’s Secretariat, citing a statement by Delhi government minister Saurabh Bhardwaj, said that the language used in it is objectionable and misleading. Legal action will also be taken in such cases. The Delhi government has spent Rs 1900 crore of public money on advertising during 2019-2023.
