DEHRADUN: In good news for residents of lake town, Nanital, a 25-metre stretch of Lower Mall Road, which caved in last year, would be rebuilt. The cost of relaying the damaged portion of the road has been estimated at Rs 41 crore.
A detailed project report has already been sent to the state officials by the Nainital district administration.
Sabon Bansal, the district magistrate of Nainital, said, “The proposal has been sent to higher levels of the state government for approval. Work will begin as soon as we get the nod.”
The stretch of the centuries-old road crumbled on August 25, 2018, triggering panic in the town. A few days later, another 8-feet long stretch of the road fell into the Naini lake.
