The baby room was inaugurated by Agra MP SP Singh Baghel and his wife Madhu Baghel here on Thursday.
"Supreme Court had prohibited any new construction in these historical monuments, so these rooms have been made in the existing spaces. The room is fully air-conditioned and designed keeping in mind the safety of the mother-child duo," SP Singh Baghel, MP Agra, told.
