Bihar Imposes Strict Social Media Rules for Government Staff

Bihar Imposes Strict Social Media Rules for Government Staff

The Bihar government has made new rules for its employees about using social media.

These rules say that employees need permission from their department before they can open a social media account.

They cannot use their job title, government logo, or official email for personal accounts.

Employees are also not allowed to post anything that is rude, offensive, or could cause trouble.

They should not share pictures or videos from work meetings or government programs.

The rules also say that employees should not criticize government policies or officials on social media.

If someone breaks these rules, they could get in trouble at work.

The government says these rules are to keep things orderly and protect the reputation of the administration.

Some people think these rules are good because they will make employees more careful.

Others worry that employees might be afraid to speak up about problems at work.
