Raj Bhavan sources said that the Governor was in Siliguri for a long time on Tuesday.

According to the protocol, if the Governor makes an official visit to any district, the concerned District Magistrate, DSP or Police Commissioner should come and meet him.

However, sources said that despite informing the state secretariat 24 hours in advance about the Governor's scheduled visit to Siliguri, neither the District Magistrate nor any senior police officer was present when he reached Siliguri and proceeded towards the Circuit House .

Sources also said that despite the Governor spending a few hours at the Circuit House, none of the three senior administrative officials came and met him there.

From Siliguri, the Governor was to visit Chopra in North Dinajpur district to meet the women who were brutally beaten by a local Trinamool Congress leader who ran a kangaroo court there.

However, the Governor later canceled Chopra's visit and went back to Delhi from Siliguri.
