Save the MONUMENT

| | Chennai

Sir — It is no surprise that the Green Bench of the Supreme Court has come down heavily on the Government and the Archaeological Survey of India for the pathetic state of the Taj Mahal.

With garbage strewn all over and pollutants having discoloured the pristine white of the iconic mausoleum in Agra, one really wonders why the ruling dispensation at the Centre has failed to protect the UNESCO World Heritage site.

As Indians, we should be proud to be the keepers of one of the great wonders of the world. Why the apathy? Taj’s glory must be restored.
