# Odisha CM Majhi orders new social media policy, fact-check system 2026-10-10T00:50:15+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 5 independent outlets Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday, 9 October, told Information Service officers to strengthen the state's digital communication and announced a new social media policy with a fact-check system. He launched the e-Sanchar app for transparency in government advertisements and unveiled the 3S formula, accurate, quick, simple, for official communication. Majhi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had shared with him a chart on how chief ministers use social media, revealing Odisha was behind some smaller states. The CM urged officers to use AI tools like ChatGPT responsibly, counter deepfakes, and focus on citizen feedback. The proposed policy and integrated digital system from district to state level are expected to improve public outreach. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All five outlets reported the same set of facts: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi asked Odisha Information Service officers to strengthen social media presence, announced a new social media policy, and launched the e-Sanchar app. The coverage is uniform, with identical details across sources, the 3S formula, PM Modi's review chart, and the emphasis on fact-checking and AI use appear consistently.
