What efforts are being made by the government to save the Taj Mahal ?
Solution
The government of India announced an action plan named 'Taj Trapezium' in $1995$ to prevent the Taj Mahal. This plan aims at clearing the air of the neared city or towns of Taj Mahal. Under this plan more than $2000$ polluting industries dying inside the Trapezium would switch over to the use of natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas instead of coal or oil.
A new natural gas pipeline would bring more than half a million cubic metres of natural gas a day to this area.
People living in the city will also be encouraged to use liquefied petroleum gas in place of coal, kerosene or firewood.
Vehicles plying on highways in the vicinity of Taj would be encouraged to use low sulphur content diesel.
