It is noted that Archaeological Survey of India is monitoring the verticality of minarets of Taj Mahal regularly. During the observations in the season 2011-2012, minor changes in the tilt values of minarets have been noticed, which are within the permissible limit of geodetic accuracy.
Minister for Culture and Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation Kumari Selja stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
It has been stated that ASI has observed that due to some unknown disturbance caused by wind etc. these changes have been occurred.
However it has been said that the minarets of Taj Mahal have remained stable and the changes found are insignificant and well in agreement within the permissible limits of geodetic observations for stability of Taj Mahal.
