Agra has rolled back a plan to reopen the Taj Mahal on Monday, citing the risk of new coronavirus infections spreading in the city from visitors flocking to see the monument.

Local authorities issued a new advisory late on Sunday, ordering an extension of lockdown curbs on monuments in and around Agra.

The government order did not specify the duration of the lockdown for monuments that have been closed since March. “In the interest of the public, it has been decided that opening monuments in Agra will not be advisable as of now,” the district authorities said in a notice .

Agra, one of India’s first big clusters of the virus, remains the worst-affected city in Uttar Pradesh.

It was immediately not clear whether the Centre would scrap its plan to reopen other monuments across the country, such as the Red Fort in New Delhi.
