Blind tourists can now read the history of the Taj Mahal in the complex.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has provided a notice board in Braille script for their convenience.
Agra District Magistrate Manisha Trighatia unveiled the notice board, which some visually handicapped students and their teachers read -- and expressed satisfaction.
N.K. Pathak, the superintending archaeologist of ASI's Agra circle, said the facility will be a great relief to the sightless who had earlier to be told the history orally.
