New Delhi: Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will write to the civil aviation ministry after fresh concerns about flight movement over Qutub Minar and the effect of vibrations. Officials said the flight path over the 12th-century minaret was shifted a few years ago, but planes have lately been noticed flying too close to the monument.
ASI sources said they were planning to write to the aviation ministry so that flights flew outside the safe zone.
"We have once again observed flights too close to the monument. The issue has come up before and we are keeping close track," said an official.
The monument body has also asked IIT-Roorkee to prepare a report on the natural tilt in the minaret, but it is expected to take at least a year.
