Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash has directed departmental heads to review and update content on the websites of their respective departments, stated an official communication.
The Chief Secretary has also directed that the appointment of a nodal officer for this work be executed. The directive came in the wake of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal issuing a note to Information Technology Minister Kailash Gahlot over government websites facing problems for the past few months.
The directives were issued at a recent meeting with Principal Secretaries and Secretaries.
The move intends to provide updated information pertaining to government works to users of departmental websites.
“The Chief Secretary directed HoDs to review their content on websites and update the same...,” stated a written communication of Irrigation and Flood Control Department to its officials. In July this year, the Chief Minister had issued a strong note to Mr. Gahlot over websites working on and off for the past few months.
