• Footage posted to Reddit shows visitors scratching names into the tomb’s walls and climbing on each other’s shoulders to reach higher spots.
• The clip originated on r/IndianCivicFails with the caption, “They’re literally treating Humayun’s Tomb like a blackboard,” and was later reshared on Instagram.
• Online responses describe the behavior as a civic failure and call for stricter enforcement and public-awareness efforts, saying guards alone are insufficient.
• Commenters referenced potential legal penalties, including up to two years’ imprisonment or a fine of up to 1 lakh, though these claims were cited from social media.
• Humayun’s Tomb, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 after extensive restoration, remains at the center of public concern, with no official action reported in the coverage so far.
