Agra, 27 Oct
The iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh was engulfed in
a thick layer of haze on Sunday as pollution levels continued to rise.
Manoharpur area in Agra recorded its Air Quality Index (AQI)
at 190, categorised as 'moderate'. According to a visitor at the Taj Mahal, the
situation in the area has worsened over the years due to the industrial areas
traffic increasing.
"I am here on a trip, I wanted to see the sunrise. 14
years ago, I was here and the sky was clear back then. Industrial areas are
increasing towards Agra side and vehicle load is also increasing here, I think
these are the reasons behind the rise in pollution," he said. -ANI
