Looters are allowed to loot in the Taj Mahal’s western gate and Shilpgram parking lot. At the instigation of the parking contractor, hawkers, hawkers and fake guides to rickshaw pullers are duping tourists. From pulling to snatching from them. Amar Ujala investigation on Sunday revealed the reality of anarchy in both the parking lots.
District Magistrate Arvind Mallappa Bangari had reached Taj Mahal on Saturday on a morning walk. He was wearing black half pants and cream colored upper. The parking employee behaved indecently with the DM. After that the DM instructed Regional Tourism Officer Deepti Vats and ADA Secretary Shraddha Shandilyayan to improve the system. But, the DM’s instructions remained ineffective. Even after 24 hours on Sunday the reality did not change. Kept fighting with the tourists who had gathered at the western gate parking. On one side of the parking barrier gate, e-rickshaw drivers were surrounding the tourists. On the other hand, fake guides and laps were stopping the car drivers at the barrier.
The worst situation was found in Shilpgram parking. The parking is operated by the contractor of the tourism department. There was no seating arrangement for the guides here. Many guides were found pouncing on tourists simultaneously. There was no restriction on hawkers and hawkers here either. On the other hand, fake guides were seen misleading foreign tourists within a radius of 500 meters. Departmental sources say that scammers and fake guides are active in the Western Gate and Shilpgram parking with the connivance of ADA and Tourism Department.
