UP News: A case of gross negligence in the maintenance and preservation of the symbol of love, Taj Mahal, has come to light. A video claiming that the Taj Mahal is tainted is going viral on social media. In which a plant has grown in the dome, which is tainting the beauty of the Taj Mahal. Now Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has also raised questions about this. Akhilesh Yadav has targeted the BJP government over the maintenance of the Taj Mahal.

SP chief Akhilesh Yadav posted on Instagram and wrote, "The BJP government and its dormant departments have completely failed in the maintenance of the Taj Mahal, a wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world. There is a possibility of rusting of the metal of the urn on the main dome, water is dripping from the main dome. News of trees growing in the dome is in the headlines. If the roots of trees like these grow, then cracks may appear in the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal complex has become a sanctuary for monkeys, there is a problem of waterlogging in the Taj Mahal complex."

Along with this, Akhilesh Yadav wrote - "The problem of tourists is whether they should see the Taj Mahal or deal with the problems. Due to all these reasons, the country's image is tarnished at the global level among the tourists coming from all over the world. The question is where does the crores of rupees of funds that come for the maintenance of the Taj Mahal go? The government should be a living and active example, not just a monument."

Know what ASI said

On the viral video of the plant spoiling the beauty of Taj Mahal, ASI Superintendent Agra Dr Rajkumar Patel said that during the rainy season, water gets into the joints of the monuments and birds peck at them, then trees grow on the joints. Incidents of trees growing on all monuments can be seen, it is important that they should be removed only when they are 5 cm or 10 cm. Because if they are bigger, they will cause damage, we will remove the plants in about 10 days and pointing is done in it, this is the process. Taj Mahal is a marble building, so we remove the leaves quickly.
