“Special initiatives undertaken by the zones should be sent to the social media team to incorporate best efforts and good work in it,” the civic body headquarters has instructed its field officials.
On Thursday, the Corporation published its first newsletter on its official portal with photographs and articles about the fight against COVID-19 and its success. “The responsibility of making newsletters has been given to the social media team that handles Twitter and other social media handles. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, we have garnered over one lakh followers. We have our presence on Instagram and Facebook also,” said an official.
The Corporation had passed a council resolution a few years ago, when there was an elected council, to publish newsletters aimed at promoting its schemes and projects. However, it stopped after a few issues, and has resumed only now. The first issue of the newsletter had stories about COVID-19 control measures taken in Kannagi Nagar among others.
