Who is Vivek Banzal? BSNL director’s Prayagraj visit called off after ‘snan kits’ tasks for officials trigger row

Vivek Banzal, the director of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), recently faced backlash that led to the cancellation of his planned visit to Prayagraj. The visit, which was meticulously organized for nearly 50 officials, attracted criticism after details of the itinerary were leaked on social media. The itinerary included tasks that mandated the officials to procure 'snan kits', which sparked controversy and raised eyebrows regarding the appropriateness and necessity of such arrangements. This incident highlights the growing scrutiny of public officials and their expenditures, particularly in light of current economic challenges faced by many. Banzal's visit was intended to bolster BSNL's presence and operations in the region, but the negative response ultimately forced the cancellation, reflecting the delicate balance public figures must maintain in their engagements with the public and the media.
