Need to stop misuse of social media: Hemant Soren

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren Monday advocated the framing of a policy which could stop misuse of social media.

"The central government should formulate a policy which will keep track of and prevent misuse of social media. The policy should be framed keeping in mind democratic rights," Soren told a meeting of the National Integration Council (NIC) here.

"We have to be alert and ensure that youth do not go astray with the misuse of social media," the Jharkhand chief minister said.

"The central government should use the different mediums to develop harmony among different communities and regions," he said, stressing the need for a sympathetic attitude towards Jharkhand by the central government, and consideration for the state's constraints.
