Watch: Taj Mahal briefly shut, tourists evacuated after hoax bomb call
The Taj Mahal complex was vacated on March 3 morning after a hoax bomb call.
Several tourists visiting the monument in Agra were asked to move out.
Extensive checking was undertaken at the monument’s premises.
It was opened again at 11.15 am after nothing objectionable was found.
“The police control room received a call from unidentified caller on Thursday morning informing that explosion will take place in Taj Mahal premises.
Police got alert and tourists inside were asked to move out of premises.
Checking of Taj Mahal premises was undertaken in accordance with Standard Operating Procedure and Bomb Disposal Squad and others were sent in Taj Mahal premises,” said A Satish Ganesh, IG, Agra Range.
He added that the person who made the call was being traced.
The narrow lanes of Agra's bustling market area led to Jain Chaat Bhandar, roughly a kilometre away from Taj Mahal entry gate, where the aroma of freshly prepared savories and sweets beckons food lovers from far and wide. As the evening sets in, the chaat stalls come alive with a flurry of activity, drawing in locals and tourists alike to savour the city's renowned culinary delights. It is here that OneIndia's Pankaj Mishra found himself, engaging with the diverse crowd in a discussion that transcended mere gastronomic pleasures. With the Lok Sabha elections underway, the conversations veered towards the political landscape, revealing a electorate deeply invested in the future of their city and state. While some expressed their unwavering support for the incumbent BJP, citing the party's development agenda, others voiced their inclination towards the Samajwadi Party, believing it to be a formidable force capable of giving the ruling party a tough fight. Amidst the exchange of views and the savouring of delectable treats, one thing became clear - Agra's voters are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the region's political destiny.

As the historic city of Agra gears up for the third phase of the Lok Sabha polls in 2024, the Muslim community here is voicing its concerns and aspirations. Many feel that while the BJP government has made strides in certain areas, there is still a long way to go, particularly when it comes to addressing the pressing issues of education and employment opportunities for the minority community. They believe that the government needs to prioritise and invest in quality education and skill development programmes that can open doors for better job prospects. With a significant Muslim population, Agra's vote could be a crucial factor in determining the political landscape of the region. As the campaigns intensify, the community hopes that their voices will be heard, and their concerns addressed by the contesting parties.
