Agra's Petha Makers Face Relocation Amid Pollution Concerns

Agra's Petha Makers Face Relocation Amid Pollution Concerns

Imagine Agra is famous for a sweet called petha, like a candy shaped like the Taj Mahal!

Factories making this sweet, located near the Taj, are being told to move.

The government says the factories create too much pollution, which could damage the Taj Mahal.

Some sweet makers are worried because they don't have money to move and set up in a new place.

They say they are not polluting as much anymore.

Some people feel sad, saying the government should have helped the sweet makers with new equipment to reduce pollution instead of forcing them to move.
