IIPM EDITORIAL: The Taj is fast losing its luster

A parliamentary committee report has revealed that

the great monument of love, the Taj Mahal, is losing its sheen due to pollution. The committee, headed by Rajya Sabha MP Sitaram Yechury, has recommended that steps should immediately be taken to stop this decay and that the Taj should be restored to its former glory. “The committee expresses its concern that Taj Mahal, the world-famous monument at Agra is becoming yellowish due to the deposition of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM),” says the report that was tabled in Parliament. “The deposition of SPM on the shimmering white marble of the Taj Mahal imparts yellow tinge to the marble surface. To restore the pristine glory of the Taj Mahal, as a conservation measure, the clay pack treatment, which is non-corrosive and nonabrasive, is carried out for the removal of the deposits.”
