There was a huge crowd of tourists at the Taj Mahal on Tuesday, the next day of Holi in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Tourists started arriving at the Taj from the morning itself. In the afternoon, a girl tourist from Maharashtra got injured at the Taj Mahal, while a 67-year-old tourist from Bengal fell unconscious.
Sushant Ashok Kamble’s 10-year-old daughter, who had come to see the Taj Mahal with his family from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, got injured after her feet slipped on the central tank. She fell down from the central tank, injuring her chin. Sushant Kamble got scared by this.
The CISF personnel present at the central tank took him to the dispensary. The girl was given first aid in the dispensary. The crowd at the Taj increased in the afternoon, due to which tourist Kalipada Das from West Bengal fainted due to the scorching sun and heat. 67 year old Das was also given first aid.
Golf cart driver and tourists fight
A fight broke out between golf cart drivers and tourists at the Taj Mahal East Gate. After Holi, on Tuesday afternoon, when the golf cart carrying tourists from Shilpgram parking reached Taj Mahal, instead of the East Gate, the golf cart driver dropped it some distance away, on which the tourists asked to be dropped at the gate itself.
Tourists said that the heat was too much and elderly tourists would face difficulties in walking, a debate started on this issue. The argument turned into a fight and Delhi tourist Rajeev Singh beat up the driver. After this dispute, Taj security police arrived and asked the golf cart operator to drop it at the designated place.
