  • Air Quality Trends and Action Plan for Control of Air Pollution from Seventeen Cities
    NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING SERIES : NAAQMS/29/2006-07 Air Quality Trends and Action Plan for Control of Air Pollution from Seventeen Cities CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT & FORESTS Website: www.cpcb.nic.in e-mail: [email protected] September 2006 Air Quality Trends and Action Plan for Control of Air Pollution from Seventeen Cities FOREWORD COVER PAGE PERSONNEL INVOLVED CONTENTS FULL TEXT FOREWORD Urbanisation in India is more rapid in and around National Capital as well as the State Capitals and, over the years, these cities have become major centers for commerce, industry and education. Enormous increase in number of vehicles has resulted in increased emission of air pollutants and, as a result, levels of air pollutants such as respirable suspended particulate matter are found to exceed the prescribed standards in these cities. The Honorable Supreme Court has also identified sixteen cities in addition to Delhi for which action plans are being formulated and implemented to control air pollution. An attempt has been made in this report to address the pollution problem in these seventeen cities namely Agra, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Faridabad, Hyderabad, Jharia, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Patna, Pune, Solapur and Varanasi. Trends of air pollutants are determined to find the effects of various actions taken so far to control air pollution. Action plans as developed by respective State Governments have also been covered. I am thankful to my colleagues Dr. B. Sengupta, Member Secretary, Dr. R.C. Trivedi, Additional Director and Sh. Naresh Badhwar, Environmental Engineer and Ms. Meetu Puri, SRF for their contribution in preparation of this report.

  • How to Experience the Taj Mahal with No Tourists: a VIP Guide to Agra, India
    October 2018 How to Experience the Taj Mahal with No Tourists: A VIP Guide to Agra, India By Jim Dobson Alone at the Taj Mahal JIM DOBSON The cows blocking the winding dirt road ahead would have been a sure sign to turn back for the average visitor, but in India, locals are more resilient than that and they simply find a way around the crowded situation. We were in a private luxury car arranged by the amazing Micato Safaris taking us from Delhi to Agra on a four-hour drive. Our guide, the sophisticated, charming and well known Hem Singh was confident that the approaching wide open and empty toll freeway would make the drive a breeze. Before we knew it we had arrived in the humid, sweaty, dusty and overcrowded city of Agra. I was here along with 50,000 other daily tourists to see the iconic Taj Mahal, one of the world’s seven wonders. The famed mausoleum and memorial were erected by the grief-stricken Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century to honor his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. I had always been reticent about visiting the famous site purely because I hate crowds and in my cranky old age cannot think of anything worse than standing in long lines for hours. But my visit was going to be different and so special that I was excited about the opportunity. Most tour operators will have you visit the Mehtab Bagh – a site across the river for a sunset view of the Taj Mahal but I suggest you wait until you can get the ultimate wow factor at the main entrance.

  • The Black Taj an Incomplete Memory of the Mughal Empire
    www.unfuse.xyz the black taj An incomplete memory of the Mughal Empire UNI - X (C) 2017. Rights reserved. One of the seven wonders of the world ‘Taj Mahal’ is a monument situated in Agra on the banks of river Yamuna. Considered as the most beautiful tomb in the world, Taj Mahal is a living example of the glory of Mughal Empire and illustrates the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaj Mahal. However, there is a legend behind this story. A European traveler by the name of Jean Baptiste Tavernier who visited Agra in 1665 first mentioned the idea of The Black Taj in his writings. Tavernier mentioned that Shah Jahan began to build his own tomb on the other side of the river but could not complete it as he was deposed by his own son Aurangzeb. THEME: TIME - TWIST REGENERATING TIME AND RADICAL POSSIBILITIES Taj Mahal, the building has been the source of an admiration transcending culture and geography, and so personal and emotional responses have consistently eclipsed scholastic appraisals of the monument. — Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, one of the first European visitors to the Taj Mahal Black Taj”, also “the 2nd Taj”) was“ لحم جات ہایس :The Black Taj Mahal (Persian/Urdu supposed to be a legendary black marble mausoleum that was planned to be built across the Yamuna River directly opposite the Taj Mahal. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan is widely believed to have desired a mausoleum for himself similar to the one he had built in memory of his deceased wife, Mumtaz Mahal. There has always been a debate in the archaeological and historian circles regarding the authenticity of the plan for the Black Taj.
