Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh on Thursday asked the state government to discontinue the protocol of according guard of honour to him upon his arrival and departure from the Raj Bhavan and during district tours, a spokesperson said.

A letter expressing Singh's wish, that the tradition of according the guard of honour to him be stopped, has been sent to the state government on Thursday, the Raj Bhavan spokesperson said.

Earlier in January, Singh had sought the state home department's opinion on whether or not this protocol could be discontinued.
