Taj Mahal City in India is reportedly embarrassed by the ugly of pollution in Yamuna, says India Today. According to the news site, the truth of the worsening state of urban waste in the Taj Mahal City in India, is undeniable.

Many people who have glimpsed the Taj Mahal City in India may boast of the monument and beauty of its architecture; however this aesthetic is apparently mired by the tonnes of waste located deep inside the polluted and crowded lanes.

As reported by India Today, the Taj Mahal City in India was unfortunately termed by former US president Bill Clinton as a 'city of ghosts' due to its lack of basic amenities. Numerous other VIPs have also critiqued that the only thing worth seeing in the Taj Mahal City in India is the Taj Mahal itself. They added that there should be other paths to reach the Taj directly instead of going through the Taj Mahal City in India, the dirty city of Agra.

During a visit to Agra and to the Taj Mahal City in India, US Ambassador Nancy J. Powell couldn't help but photograph through her cellphone the sewer-like waters of the Yamuna river flowing behind the Taj Mahal. Fortunately, the outgoing ambassador has managed to keep from commenting on the stench of the dying river that is seemingly growing behind the monument.

Luckily, according to India Today, she has chosen to praise the Taj Mahal instead of commenting on the Yamuna river's stench. Powell said that "the Taj was indeed a wonderful monument and amongst the wonders of the world. She said she had an ardent desire to see the monument with her own eyes after hearing so much about it." And until now, she never before had the chance to visit Agra, the Taj Mahal City in India.

India Today reports that Powell captured the Taj Mahal, including the dirty Yamuna river flowing at the back of it. Powell remained in the monument for over an hour.

Taj Mahal City in India is indeed a wonderful display of humankind's genius. It is a hope that while monuments are appreciated in India and other parts of the world, the value of nature is also appreciated, and so preventing the beauty of other rivers from going to waste.
