‘Keep people informed on govt programmes’
SRI AMAN: Communi ty leaders are required to explain to the people about development programmes being carried out by the government in their areas.

“I am also urging community leaders to work closely with the relevant government agencies to eliminate their doubts when relaying information to the people,” he added.
