The annual 10-day Taj Mahotsav in Agra, which figures prominently on international tourism calendars, has been postponed from Feb. 18 to March 16, 2012 in view of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
It is the first time since the festival started in 1993 that the extravaganza is being postponed, inviting the wrath of the people.
Divisional Commissioner Amrit Abhijat, who heads the Taj Festival organising committee, said security forces are needed for the conduct of elections.
