HYDERABAD: With protocol being extended to governor turning into a major row, the Telangana government is considering changing protocol rules. Sources in the government said the government is exploring the possibility of assigning protocol duties to some officers or ministers instead of the chief minister calling on the governor on certain occasions.
Apart from this, the government is considering appointing designated protocol officers instead of collectors and superintendents of police to receive the governor during district tours.
Sources in CMO said the government is taking the view of legal experts on changing some protocol rules, which could be done at the state level without completely ignoring the governor’s protocol as mandated by the Constitution.
