Agra News: Taj Mahal has also been affected due to air pollution in Agra. Due to pollution, it is becoming difficult to see the Taj Mahal from a distance amidst the deep haze. Amidst the continuously increasing levels of pollution, the district administration became active and a round of meetings started to improve the health of the air. The Commissioner and District Magistrate gave strict instructions to the departments. However, this has remained only a paper order. The situation is that stone cutting work is being done at Dussehra Ghat behind Taj Mahal. Due to this work, the dust flying is reaching the Taj Mahal. Due to this the problems have increased again. The pollution level is likely to increase further due to fireworks on Diwali. In such a situation, the problem may increase due to lack of attention from the officials.
