Glittering Safdarjung Tomb
What can bring tourists more joy than the extended visiting time of monuments until night? Under a recent initiative by the ministry of tourism, historical monuments bathed in glittering lights will now be open until 9 p.m.
The culture ministry and the tourism department’s recent move have been a source of delight for travelers, explorers, photographers, historians, students, and more. That’s not all; these monuments will be decked out in glittering lights, offering visitors a visual treat. The motive behind this was so that tourists could make the most of their time. Mostly all historical monuments’ closing time was sunset or between 5:30 and 6 p.m., leaving these places in the dark and tourists disappointed.
But now these are open until 9 p.m. and decorated with shimmering lights. The move has received a warm welcome, and these monuments are seeing a significant rise in footfall every day. However, the public gets access to these monuments only up to a certain point since security remains an issue. Only the main building or monument is lit up, but the rest of the premises are left in the dark. Lack of security personnel and inadequate security measures are still concerns that the authorities are trying to fix.
In Delhi, Humayun Tomb, Safdarjung Tomb, Red Fort, and Qutub Minar have been named in the list.
