Muscat: The newly appointed Minister of Social Development has interacted with a social media user who requested the Minister on Twitter to provide aid to poor citizens.
In his tweet, the user said, "Your Excellency, I have a list of names of citizens with weak roofs over their houses. I hope that these simple citizens will be given assistance as soon as possible. Also there is a group that needs intervention due to their bad social condition. Please have mercy on them."
Minister Laila bint Ahmed bin Awadh al-Najar replied in a tweet through her personal account and said, "Please deliver the data about these families to our office soon, thank you for your attention and your follow-up."
The Ministry of Housing and Urban planning also replied in a tweet to the same user and said: "You will be contacted to find out data of the affected families that you referred to in the tweet and to coordinate with the competent authorities regarding the type of assistance that will be provided to them. We appreciate and thank you for your efforts."
Dr. Laila Al-Najar was appointed last Tuesday as Minister of Social Development.
