Taj Mahal reopens: All you need to know if you are planning to visit the historic Taj Mahal

The iconic Taj Mahal reopened on Wednesday months after being closed due to COVID-19 forced lockdown. "The Taj Mahal, among other ASI-protected monuments, will reopen from June 16," Vasant Kumar Swarnkar, superintending archaeologist of the Agra circle of Archaeological Survey of India was quoted by news agency ANI as saying. Mr Swarnkar added that strict COVID-protocols will be followed. Tickets will be sold online and on the phone. Here are the new COVID-linked guidelines for tourists at Taj Mahal.  The Taj Mahal has been reopened for visitors after infections declined in recent weeks, with major cities including New Delhi and Mumbai lifting some curbs on movement and activities. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal was shut down in March last year as the country imposed one of the world's strictest lockdowns at the start of the pandemic.
