AGRA: Police on Friday reportedly conducted an “anti-Romeo” drive at Mehtab Bagh , located opposite Taj Mahal across the Yamuna, and thoroughly questioned tourists and young couples sitting there. The Archaeological Survey of India is not amused with this action by the police and said such “unauthorized” activities by the police at a protected monument would create a negative image of the city among tourists.“Five to six policemen arrived in a jeep at the monument at around 9.30am and started asking all sorts of questions to tourists and others present there, without informing any of us. They left the place after spending some time there. Such kind of interference at a centrally-protected monument is uncalled for,” said an ASI official posted at the monument.“We have our own security guards who keep a continuous vigil on the movement of tourists. In case there is any issue we on our own report the matter to the police. But barging in at a tourist destination like this and asking questions may result in creating unnecessary panic among visitors. A report will be submitted to the senior officials,” the official added.ASI superintending archaeologist Bhuvan Vikrama said, “I have come to know about the police visit. They have not informed us before visiting the monument. There is a need to exercise caution while visiting monuments.”However, station officer of Itimad-ud-Daulah, Narendra Kumar denied that it was an “anti-Romeo” drive, calling it a routine visit to the monument to review safety and security measures. “Security has been strengthened in the area after media reports of threat to Taj Mahal. Police visited Mehtab Bagh as part of their regular job,” he added.
