Rising Yamuna poses threat to Taj Mahal
September 24, 2008
The steadily rising level of Yamuna river could pose a threat to Taj Mahal at Agra in Uttar Pradesh, where the toll on account of on-going fury of rain and floods has touched 1,122 on Wednesday.
The rise in the water level of the Yamuna river was attributed to release of water from two Himachal Pradesh-based barrages.
Authorities are keeping a minute to minute watch on the river level, which flows along the rear wall of the wonder 16th century monument.
