On the other side, district authorities in Agra have said the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Akbar's tomb in Sikandra and other monuments will remain closed until further orders. These monuments fall under containment zones.

On March 17, the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) had shut down more than 3,400 monuments, days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the lockdown.

Also, around 820 religious places under the ASI were reopened when the government announced a graded exit from the total shutdown under "Unlock 1".
