Agra:
The Taj Mahal was in grave danger from the dry Yamuna, Lok Sabha MP
from Agra Ram Shankar Katheria has told President Pratibha Patil.
"The Taj's foundation needs moisture, but there's no water,"
Katheria explained to the president at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Katheria, who led a delegation of Agra Vikas Sangh, invited the
president to visit Agra.
He told IANS that Patil expressed her concern over the matter.
In the memorandum presented to her Tuesday afternoon, the delegation
also made a demand for a barrage on the Yamuna.
