Plants Sprout From The Marbles Of Taj Mahal: Heritage Site Faces Maintenance Concerns

Unwanted Plants From Taj Mahal Dome

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.
