Taj Mahal hates Mobiles E-mail

Long security checks at the gates of the Taj Mahal will soon be history — tourists are now allowed to carry their mobile phones inside as long as they keep it switched off. Plus, light edibles such as biscuits and chocolates can also be carried in. But smokers must continue to light up outside the premises.

 

Mobile phones were banned inside the Taj Mahal premises because these were perceived to be a threat to security. The phones would have to be deposited in locker rooms close to the main entrance gate. The exercise proved to be time consuming and a detriment to the overall experience of the visitors.

"Those carrying a mobile can take the phone inside but must keep it switched off. Light edibles are also going to be allowed henceforth," said CISF deputy commandant V Khamo Singh.
