Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that in the present era, social media has emerged as a very powerful tool as well as a serious challenge. Its misuse has increased the possibilities of spreading rumours, crime and misinformation. Therefore, it is essential to use the power of social media for positive and constructive purposes. Any misleading or provocative content must be identified in time and dealt with through prompt and effective action. He added that in the age of social media, public expectations for immediate assistance from the police have also increased. To meet these expectations and sentiments, the police force must be technologically competent and well-equipped to provide immediate help to victims.
