Allowing photography will prompt more people to plan their visits at ASI sites: PM

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the ASI’s decision to allow photography inside protected monuments would enable more people to see their photos and prompt them to plan their visits to these historical sites.

            The Archaeological Survey of India yesterday issued orders to allow photography within the premises of centrally protected monuments, hours after Modi questioned the logic behind existing restrictions on photography.

            “More Indians should venture out, visit our archaeological treasures and come back with cherished memories. This decision also means more people can see photos of our beautiful historical sites and plan their trips,” the Prime Minister said in a tweet. (AGENCIES)
