Rajasthan's pride, "Palace on Wheels" tourists who came to visit Rajasthan were extremely disappointed to see the poor condition of Chittorgarh Fort during the light and sound show. The broken toilets, filth, and stench in Padmini Palace and Kumbha Palace frustrated the tourists.

The world-famous Chittorgarh Fort is facing criticism due to such mismanagement. The tourists were so frustrated that they left the show early and boarded the train.

Collector appealed

The train arrived in Jaisalmer on Sunday morning. Before taking the tourists to the monuments, the management met with the Jaisalmer Collector and appealed to improve the condition of the toilets and other facilities at the monuments.

Crores spent on annual maintenance

According to sources, crores of rupees are spent on the annual maintenance of the fort. Despite this, the tourists faced such an experience, which raised questions about the maintenance of the fort. Basic facilities like cleanliness, tourist safety, and parking are essential at the monuments.
