BSNL Cancels Director Vivek Banzal's Prayagraj Visit After Viral Protocol Controversy

A planned visit by BSNL Director Vivek Banzal to Prayagraj was cancelled after an internal office order detailing extensive arrangements—including personal items like towels, underwear, and hair oil, and assigning nearly 50 staff to manage the itinerary—went viral on social media. The protocol included temple visits, a ceremonial bath at the Sangam, and hospitality logistics. BSNL described the document as a breach of conduct, took corrective action, and reiterated adherence to official visit protocols amid public criticism over resource use.
