Agra’s Taj Mahal witnesses water leakage.
One of the seven wonders, the Taj Mahal, in Agra, witnessed water leakage after the city experienced incessant rains in the past three days.

Rajkumar Patel, superintending chief of the ASI, Agra circle, told news agency PTI, “Yes, we observed leakage in the main dome of the Taj Mahal. Upon inspection, it was found to be caused by seepage, and no damage has occurred. We verified the condition of the dome using a drone camera.” A 20-second video has gone viral showing one of the monument’s gardens submerged in rainwater.
Agra has been experiencing heavy rainfall for the past few days, leading to waterlogging across the city. One of the national highways was also flooded, crops were submerged, and even upscale neighborhoods faced waterlogging and water choking.
