I cannot believe that the Archaeological Survey of India has told the Supreme Court that it cannot provide socks to everyone and that visitors’ dirty socks have caused discolouration of the Taj Mahal (“Dirty socks, algae behind Taj discolouration, ASI tells SC”, May 10). What a sorry excuse. Do we not have the expertise to solve a problem like this? Or is it just a lack of will? I hope this issue is treated as priority because preserving our heritage is priority.
