First in 45 years: Rising Yamuna waters reach walls of Taj Mahal
Tuesday, 18 July 2023 A rising Yamuna river touched the walls of the Taj Mahal in Agra and submerged a garden behind the monument on Monday for the first time in 45 years. ASI officials said the mausoleum was designed to prevent water from entering the main monument. The water level in the river Yamuna in Mathura district touched 167.28 m, which is above the danger mark of 166 m.
Floodwaters from the Yamuna River have reached the walls of the 17th century mausoleum as water levels in the river cross 150 metres – the highest since 1978.

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.
