Chhattisgarh Ends Guard of Honour for Officials

The government of Chhattisgarh has decided to stop giving a special welcome called a 'Guard of Honour' to its ministers and police officers when they travel to different parts of the state.

This practice, which comes from the colonial era, will no longer be used for these officials.

The decision was made to allow police officers to focus more on keeping the peace and helping the public.

However, the Guard of Honour will still be given during important national and state events, like Republic Day and Independence Day, as well as for important guests and leaders.

This change is seen as a way to make the police's work more efficient and effective.
