As part of developing the 'Authentic News' initiative, and after its success in refuting and quashing 35 rumours and gainsays since May, the Dubai Municipality launched the rumours receiving service through WhatsApp on number 0501077799, a senior official at Dubai Municipality said.
Ibrahim Deshti, Head of the Communication (Call) Centre at Dubai Municipality said the authorities's action stems from the principle of transparency and its belief in the importance of stamping out the menace of rumours fast and sensibly after ensuring the source of the false news, and after creating a sense of awareness among members of the society through its multiple channels.
What is Authentic News initiative? In 2015, Dubai Municipality launched the "Authentic News" initiative, which urged the public to call the DM call centre to clarify any concerns that arise from rumours being spread on social media. The calls would be responded to with verified information within eight hours. |
