Chohan For Equipping DGPR With Latest Technology

LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Nov, 2018 ) :Provincial Minister for Information and Culture Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan on Tuesday hailing performance of the Directorate General Public Relations (DGPR) Punjab, urged the officials to uplift the department's progress by exploiting latest public relations trends and technology.

According to a handout, addressing a review meeting with the DGPR officials at Al-Hamra, Chohan noted the department's energetic team had the potential to further enhance its performance by hard work and dedication.

Director General of DGPR Amjad Hussain Bhatti and other senior officials also attended the meeting.

He said the government was providing all possible resources including manpower and equipment to enhance the DGPR's working capacity in the fields of print, electronic and social media.

A separate cell should be set up at the DGPR to work to use the social media as a communication tool on the government level, he said, adding the proposed cell must not act as a tool for the PTI or any other political party, instead, it should act effectively and professionally no matter which party ruled the country.

Underlining the need for a close coordination among different DGPR departments, the minister urged the information officers to effectively use print, electronic and social media.

He said the PTI government believed in merit and supremacy of law. The information officers, he added, should play an active role to highlight and convey the PTI government's vision to the grass-root level.

There would be zero tolerance for corruption and undue expenses, the minister said and added, therefore, the officers should follow the policy of less expenses more results while presenting their proposals.

Briefing the minister on department's performance and functioning, DG of DGPR Amjad Hussain Bhatti said the officers and the other staff were putting in their best to fulfill their responsibilities despite limited resources.
