Fears over Taj Mahal's leaning tower

An urgent investigation was ordered today after reports that one of the four minarets of the 17th century Taj Mahal – India’s fabled monument to love – has tilted slightly.

Mohammed Azam Khan, urban development minister of the northern Uttar Pradesh state, said a panel of government experts has been asked to report within a week on whether a tower had leaned outward by 8.5 inches.
