In the northern Indian city of Agra, officials said they were preparing to wrap the Taj Mahal, the legendary 17th century marble mausoleum, in khaki cloth to protect it from a possible Pakistani air strike.
The Taj shines as far as 40 kilometers (24 miles) away, and is visible especially on moonlit nights. Thinking it could be a target during airstike & localize Agra; khaki camouflage cloth was wrapped on Taj Mahal. These hooks used to support heavy khaki camouflage cloth.
