As per latest initiative taken by Divisional Commissioner of Agra, Mr. Pradeep Bhatnagar, visitors’ entry will be allowed to visit Taj Mahal on Fridays. Normally Taj Mahal remains closed for visitors on every Friday but for sake of tourism development and promotion this decision has been made. It will be open on first half-day only i.e. 07:00hrs to 12:00 hrs (noon) in which visitors are required to pay 5000 INR. or 100 USD on per person basis. For this special ticket will be issued. As if now it is a decision and implementation is yet to be done. Meeting was attended by Archeological Survey of India (ASI) officials also. They will forward the proposal for due process of law and notification. Clearence will be seeked from ASI Director General. On the other hand, conservationists are opposing the proposal.
