An plane was spotted flying throughout the high-security no-flying zone of the Taj Mahal on Monday afternoon. ASI superintending archaeologist (Agra circle) Raj Kumar Patel mentioned that report has been sought from CISF officers on this regard.
He mentioned that there was a report that plane handed over one of many minarets however the precise place will probably be clear solely after the safety personnel submit their report.
“We will act accordingly,” he mentioned.
Though CISF personnel confirmed that plane was sighted at 2.50 p.m., they mentioned it was not near the monument and was on a top.
According to CISF workers, they can not assess the peak and distance of the air craft and Air Force officers can inform the precise particulars as Air Traffic Control (ATC) is managed by them.
Despite the Taj airspace being a ‘no-fly zone’, there have been a number of incidents of drone-flying within the space reported over the previous couple of years.
