Unwanted Plants From Taj Mahal Dome

With thousands of daily visitors, the monument’s condition is crucial. After seeing unwanted plants from Taj Mahal dome, many people online are now asking if the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is doing enough to protect this famous landmark.

The appearance of plants sprouting from the marbles of Taj Mahal has led tourists and netizens to question whether there has been neglect in Taj Mahal maintenance.

Shakeel Chauhan, national general secretary of the Tourist Guide Federation of India, expressed his concern saying “The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) spends Rs 4 crore annually on the Taj Mahal’s preservation. Such images tarnish the monument’s reputation”. And called for quick action to fix the problem once the rainy season ends.
