Chhattisgarh Ends Guard of Honour for Ministers, Police

The Chhattisgarh government has decided to stop giving a special salute called a Guard of Honour to its ministers and senior police officers.

This change was made by the Home Department and started right away.

The decision was made after a review by Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Vijay Sharma.

The idea is to let police officers spend more time on important jobs like keeping people safe and maintaining order, instead of doing ceremonial duties.

The new rule applies to regular visits and inspections within the state.

The government believes this will help use police resources better, especially when they need to focus on public safety.

This change is part of an effort to modernize how the government works and improve policing on the ground.
