At a time when a plea in Allahabad High Court seeks a "fact-finding inquiry" into the history of the Taj Mahal and the "opening of 22 rooms" on the monument's premises, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on May 9 published photos of underground cells in the Taj Mahal with recent renovations.
In its newsletter, the ASI shared pictures of the maintenance work of underground cells. "Decayed and disintegrated lime plaster was removed and replaced by laying of lime plaster and traditional lime processing before application," it stated. The ASI shared the January newsletter on its Twitter page recently.
