No records of Taj Mahal being one of the seven wonders: Govt

By Neha Shukla, TNN | Dec 21, 2012, 03.37 AM IST

when the government was asked to provide certified copies of
notifications, circulars, office notes and other records that declared
the 'monument of love' as one of the wonders of the world, the
government said it had no records to the effect.

The application which moved from PMO to Ministry of culture and landed
at ASI table finally, was answered in a one-liner by Agra circle of
ASI. "Record regarding declaration of Taj Mahal as one of the wonders
of the world is not available in this office," said the superintending
archaeologist and appellate authority of ASI's Agra circle.

The government could have explained if there was any international
body that described the Taj as one of the wonders of the world, or if
the monument was called so in a general parlance, said RTI activist
Urvashi Sharma.
