The Taj Mahal and other centrally protected monuments, which were closed two months ago in the wake of the second Covid-19 wave, will reopen on June 16.

The Archaeological Survey of India said that visitors will be able to book entry tickets online and no offline booking facility will be available.

With the second wave of Covid-19 making its presence felt, the government had ordered closure of all centrally protected monuments and museums, including Taj Mahal, Red Fort and Ajanta Caves, on April 15.

The monuments were closed for more than 100 days as part of the nationwide lockdown last year.
