Amritsar:- The Golden Temple is exposed to the worst-ever environmental hazards and its centuries-old marble structures are falling prey to the vehicular and air pollution. The measures taken to protect the Taj Mahal from widespread pollution should be adopted here also to safeguard the 16th century shrine, which attracts more visitors daily than the world's wonder in Agra.
