Government departments in Uttar Pradesh do not seem to be interested in opening their Twitter accounts as most have not complied with the one week deadline set about a month ago. The state has 84 departments and hardly a dozen have complied with the order, an official said.
Many departments, which have opened their accounts, have not yet tweeted or responded to people’s queries. “We have not compiled the twitter accounts of departments yet. The process is on,” Director Information Anuj Kumar Jha told PTI when asked about how many departments have come on Twitter.
With a view to making communication more effective, improving redressal of complaints and highlighting the work being done, all government departments in Uttar Pradesh were directed on June 7 to open Twitter accounts within a week. The directive was given by Principal Secretary Information Awanish Kumar Awasthi during a two-day workshop held here for the purpose.
