A 500-year-old three- domed mosque of Lodi-era in Sikandra area of Agra completely collapsed on Saturday following incessant rain for three consecutive days in district, reported. Officials said on Sunday "two of the three domes have crumbled and the third is now precariously placed". Built with Kakaiya bricks (flat, thin bricks of red burnt-clay) and lime, the mosque structure was constructed on an 8-ft-high foundation. Shakeel Chauhan, national general secretary of the Tourist Guides' Federation of India, said, "It was part of Agra's heritage. We'll pursue with Centre to at least conserve the place and try to redevelop the structure."
