Ahead of a new tourist season beginning mid–September, decks have been cleared for the revival of the much-awaited Light and Sound show at the historic Agra Fort.

In the heart of Agra lies a ticking time bomb - the River Yamuna. Once a lifeline for the people of Braj Mandal, it now stands in neglect, a breeding ground for mosquitoes and a threat to the iconic Taj Mahal and other historical monuments.

Recent hit-and-run accidents across the country have spotlighted the lax enforcement of the Motor Vehicles Act, which penalizes those driving without a license with fines and jail time.

Agra district has embarked on a massive tree plantation drive, targeting planting over 55 lakh saplings by July end.

Simian armies in Braj Mandal have made life hell for local citizens, tourists, and pilgrims. Every day, scores of innocent victims queue up at local government hospitals for anti-rabies shots, which are always in short supply.

Green activists in Agra have launched a campaign to rejuvenate several rain-fed tributaries of the Yamuna basin that have dried up, turning the vast rural hinterland of the district into a wasteland.
