The media creates a link between the government and the people.

The media is also fulfilling the responsibility of presenting all the developmental works to the people that are done by the state government for public welfare.

Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha said this while exchanging greetings with reporters on the occasion of Sharadiya Durga Puja at the Chief Minister’s official residence on Saturday.

While interacting with the journalists, the Chief Minister said that the media is the mirror of society.

Journalists highlight various issues of society in the media.

As the fourth pillar of democracy, highlighting the mistakes of government is also one of the key responsibilities of the media.

However, the message needs to be delivered in a positive manner.

The Chief Minister said that the present state government is working towards making One Tripura, Best Tripura and Drug Free Tripura.

The media also has an important role in the successful implementation of this initiative of the government.

He said that the present government is the people’s government. He added that the state government is taking up various schemes to improve the quality of the socio-economic condition of people of Tripura, which must be highlighted in the media.

Besides, the Chief Minister urged the media to communicate with people regarding all the initiatives taken by the state government as part of good governance.
