Protocol lapse in President Murmu’s Bengal visit: Centre asks State to submit detailed report by today

The Indian government has raised concerns over a security protocol lapse that occurred during President Droupadi Murmu's recent visit to West Bengal. Following the incident, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan has instructed the West Bengal Chief Secretary to submit a comprehensive report by 5 PM on Sunday. The request underscores the importance of adhering to security measures during high-profile visits, particularly for the President. This directive comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding the adequacy of security arrangements in the state, which has faced scrutiny in the past for various security-related issues. The outcome of this report will likely influence future protocols and ensure that similar lapses do not occur again, reinforcing the central government's commitment to maintaining security for dignitaries visiting the region.
