Not for Enjoying Power, It Is a Responsibility: Press Secretary

He said this on Wednesday at a press conference held at the Prime Minister's Office in Tejgaon in the capital on the government's activities over the past one month. He said the media is playing an important role in keeping the government accountable.

Saleh Shibly said the Prime Minister has been able to make people understand through his daily activities that the people are the owners of the state. He regularly monitors people's complaints and problems in newspapers and social media, and directs the relevant authorities to take action as needed.

Regarding the gas and electricity situation, he said the recent instability has now been brought under control. Even amid the international war situation, the government is working to tackle the crisis, and it is hoped that people will soon enjoy its benefits.

Calling on everyone to come forward from their own positions to prevent dengue, the Press Secretary said the risk is higher from September to November. If people spend at least five minutes every day keeping their homes and surroundings clean and conduct a cleanliness campaign every Saturday, it is possible to keep dengue under control.

Calling on the media to be more active in countering rumors, he said there is a need for regular fact-checking and rumor verification programs or reports on television and newspapers. This will give people the opportunity to verify true and false information.
