Agra: Tourists' entry to the 'Taj Mahal' will be restricted to only three hours, starting from coming Sunday (April 1). The reduction in timings will take place in accordance to a notice issued by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

The decision was taken to reduce "human load" on the fragile, 17th century monument of love which has started showing signs of fatigue and ageing, the notice said.

ASI officials have said that the modalities were being worked out as extra staff would be needed to check tickets and enforce new timing instructions.
