SECURITY TIGHTENED AT TAJ MAHAL

August 11, 2006

NEW DELHI (AFP) - Authorities tightened security at the Taj Mahal, India's famous monument to love, after top officials decided current arrangements were inadequate to thwart a terror strike, a report said.

More bunkers have been set up in Agra on the roads leading to the Taj after a security review Thursday and police units have been deployed on the side of the monument next to the Yamuna river, the Press Trust of India news agency reported on Friday.

Officials also want a "no fly zone" to be declared around the monument but so far defence authorities in New Delhi have not acted on the recommendation, the report said.

The preparations appear not to be related to the terror warning issued by the United States embassy to its citizens in the run up to India's Independence Day celebrations on August 15.

India has raised security preparations in the capital and at other key sites in advance of the celebrations.
