The blockade implemented since March has hit the Indian economy hard.
In recent months, the Indian government has repeatedly relaxed restrictions, including restoring train services, opening domestic flights, markets and restaurants; the famous tourist attraction Taj Mahal, which has been closed since March, also reopened on September 21.
Local officials emphasized that visitors to the Taj Mahal must abide by strict social distancing measures, including the mandatory wearing of masks. The maximum number of visitors per day is 5,000, which is one-fourth of the previous daily visitors.
Tickets can only be purchased online.
