Dr Abbasi said the officials of the information department were under a solemn obligation to highlight the problems of the masses, while they were also required to publicise the praiseworthy initiatives of the government to serve the masses.

He said the publicity work carried out by the officials would provide the masses the opportunity to avail the government schemes meant to benefit the people. He was of the view that the information department was the most vital arm of the provincial government as it acted as a bridge between the government and the masses.

Dr Abbasi said the standard of the publications of the information department should be improved in order to ensure that the problems faced by the masses were highlighted and resolved by the relevant government departments.

He said the department should also fully utilise the social media to highlight the good work of the government.
