“Considering the prevailing situation, now, it has been decided that all centrally-protected monuments, sites, and museums (under ASI) shall be reopened from 16.06.2021 (Wednesday),” the central body said in an order on Monday. The opening, however, shall be in strict compliance with
orders issued by state/district disaster management authorities, the order added.
Delhi has over 70 monuments under ASI, including Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub’s Minar, and Purana Qila. Taj Mahal, which was also opened for visitors from Wednesday, will allow only 650 people to enter the premises at a time.
