Court: Demolish Or Restore Taj
The Taj Mahal in Agra could be closed unless the Indian government steps in and saves the neglected landmark, says India’s Supreme Court. “Either we shut down the Taj or demolish it or you restore it,†the two-judge committee told state officials last week. In May, the judges said that the white marble monument was turning yellow due to pollution and insect dung, and told the central government that it should seek foreign expertise to fix “the worrying change in color.”
