On Tuesday also, the arrangements broke down due to the arrival of large number of tourists. There was a long queue at the ticket counter, due to which the server also went down. Also, there was a long line of vehicles at the parking lot located at Taj Mahal West Gate. The situation was such that the parking lot also became completely full. In such a situation, to handle the deteriorating system, ACP Taj Security Areeb Ahmed was seen himself managing the system on the spot.
