UP Allocates Rs 2 Crore for Guru Ka Tal's Tourism Makeover
The Uttar Pradesh government is spending Rs 2 crore to improve the Guru Ka Tal Gurudwara in Agra.
This place is important because Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, a famous Sikh leader, once stayed there.
Agra wants to attract more tourists by showing off its Sikh history, just like it does with the Taj Mahal.
This could create more jobs and help the local economy.
