Bachchan, A R Rahman being roped in for Taj function
Agra, August 13: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan and famous music director
A R Rehman are
being roped in for the grand finale of the International Taj Year near Mehtab
Bagh here on
September 27.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting today presided over by
district magistrate
Sanjay Prasad.
Permission for the function, being organised by the Uttar Pradesh Tourism
Department, could be
taken by the state government from the Supreme Court, Prasad said.
He said noted film and stage artistes including Amitabh Bachchan and A R Rahman
were expected
to take part in the function commemorating the 17th century monument of love.
Meanwhile, tourism committee president S I H Zaidi has asked for the annual urs
of Shah Jahan
and Mumtaz Mahal to be included in the Taj celebrations.
A national environment engineering institute team has inspected the proposed
site of the
function with a view to assessing the pollution effects it could have on the
Taj Mahal. Its
report would be released shortly.
The district administration has promised to compensate farmers whose standing
crops could be
adversely affected by holding of the function on land leased to them.
