Assembly elections have been completed in Jammu and Kashmir. Sheikh Abdullah’s party, National Conference, emerged as the largest party in this election and also formed the government in the state. National Conference leader and Sheikh Abdullah’s son Omar Abdullah is now the Chief Minister of the state.
However, nowadays he is in the news not because of his being the CM but because he has announced that as the Chief Minister, he will not take the benefit of VIP i.e. CM Traffic Protocol. Let us tell you today in this article, what is VIP protocol and can VIP people also use their personal car.
First understand about VIP protocol
VIP means Very Important Person. Such as government officials, ministers or other high ranking persons. When these people go to any public place, there is a protocol with them, which we call VIP protocol. In this, security arrangements, clear traffic and many other things are taken care of. This is done so that there is no danger to them.
Can VIP use personal car?
VIP people have already received vehicles from the government. Most VIPs go here. But, if a VIP wants to use his personal car, he can do so with the permission of the security agency. If the agency does not give permission then the VIP will have to travel in a government vehicle only.
Why are you not allowed to use personal car?
In fact, the car given to a VIP is thoroughly tested by government agencies. Apart from this, it also has some advanced features which are useful in saving VIP in dangerous situations. Apart from this, VIPs visit many such places throughout the day, where personal vehicles are not allowed. In such a situation, if the VIP is in a government vehicle then it becomes easier for him and the security agencies. This is the reason that whether it is PM, CM or any minister, all these VIPs always use the same vehicle for traveling which they have got from the security agencies under VIP protocol.
