Russian President Medvedev to visit Taj Mahal

Agra: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will visit the Taj Mahal on Wednesday.

"He is coming at around 11 a.m. and will leave at 2 p.m. from Kheria airport by a special plane to Mumbai," said Additional District Magistrate (Protocol) Alok Shekhar.

A Russian advance team of security personnel has been camping here for the past two days to oversee security arrangements. It has procured its own vehicles from Russia.

Team members had discussions with district authorities and inspected the route from Kheria airport to the 17th century monument of love.

Medvedev arrived in New Delhi early Tuesday morning on a two-day visit to India.
