The Information and Communication Technology Division is going to open a new online portal named “Jonotar Shorkar” comprising 56 ministries.
State Minister for ICT Division Zunaid Ahmed Palak came up with the announcement during his speech as the chief guest at the Best Reporting Award ceremony on Saturday night.
He said: “News is the mirror of society. We are going to launch a very modern portal soon involving 56 ministries so that people's opinions are more reflected in the decision-making process of Sheikh Hasina's government in the future.”
“We will be launching this portal in a few days so that any decision or any statement of the policymakers, which gets a response on social media or news media, is properly reflected in our future policy making,” he added.
The state minister hoped that this online portal will create more opportunities for journalists to work.
