Agra: The Taj Mahal took an inclination although there is nothing to fear. "Monument of Love" The 17th century would have developed but is still bow in the "allowable limits".
According to reports, officials of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has informed the Supreme Court Friday that while the minarets are tilting there was "no cause for concern" because it was in what is called "authorized ".
One of the two minarets is the southwest while the other is the north-east one. Reports say that the CEO of ASI Gautam Sen Gupta told the apex court on the changeover in an affidavit filed in the apex court.
"Heights of some landmarks outside the main structure were compared with values observed in 1940-1941, and the differences plotted," Sen Gupta told the court about the latest study conducted by the Survey of India (SI).
In the affidavit Sen Gupta said that the minaret SW remained fairly stable until 1976-1977, but the slope increased in the last three decades to about 3.57 cm in 2009-10.
Regarding the minaret NE, is the center of the top 2012 is 0.52 cm compared to baseline for the peak in 1977. This meant that there was no significant change in the magnitude of tilt for the minaret NE.
The slope of the northwest (NW) and Southeast (SE) of minarets also continued to be "in the limit of precision geodetic".
Sen Gupta said that no significant changes in the height of points on the main structure was noted.
"This suggests that the structure has remained fairly stable in elevation from 1941 to 2011," Gupta submitted in the affidavit.
"The survey of India suggested the use of GPS technology to determine the drift of the various structures within the complex of the Taj Mahal," he said, adding that there was a need for monitoring of the monument for some years.
The 358-year historical mausoleum white dome is the attraction of India's most popular tourist, bringing four million visitors a year to Agra.
