Expansion
There was humidity in Agra, Uttar Pradesh on Saturday due to the strong sunlight after the rain. Due to this, the health of 18 tourists at the Taj Mahal deteriorated. Six of these tourists had come from Nepal. First aid was given at the dispensary. Two had to be sent to a private hospital after their condition worsened.
Due to the scorching sun and humidity, the tourists fell ill. ASI’s May I Help You team helped them. Dashrath Mandal, Rohit Mandal, Kulesh Mandal, Arumpa Devi Mandal, Dulal Mandal, Bhimsher of Nepal’s Jhapa district fell ill. Among the Indian tourists, Shakeel Khan, Girish Mandal, Rohit Kumar, Abdul Gafur, Rish, Ravindra Thakur, Mahadev Prasad Singh, Guhalu Singh were also taken to the dispensary.
Problem due to lack of water reaching the dome
After the Jalabhishek of the workers of Hindu Mahasabha at the Taj Mahal, ASI had banned carrying water bottles to the main dome. This is causing trouble to the tourists. Shamsuddin, President of Agra Approved Guide Association said that tourists should be allowed to carry water bottles.
