The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has clicked on a new policy which might vaporise the smiles off selfie enthusiasts' faces. According to the policy, a ban has been imposed on usage of selfie sticks in 46 site museums across country.
Visitors to archaeological site museums like Taj Museum in Agra, the Indian War Memorial Museum in Delhi, Archaeological Museums in Konark, Hampi and others across the country, have to leave behind their selfie sticks to enjoy a glimpse of the artifacts on display.
Site museums are the ones where ASI has kept in public view some of the 'small and movable antiquities' which were recovered from ancient sites. These museums often showcase the objects retrieved from the excavation site often found during exploration during scientific clearances and conservation of monuments, said a report.
ASI sources have said that the decision was implemented keeping in view those instances where selfie sticks were getting too close to the artifacts on display.
