Roads in the town  including lower Mall Road needs to be  maintained in a better way .
Lower Mall Road which develop cracks and part of which submerged in Naini Lake four years ago still awaiting a permanent solution of repair of this road . If unfortunately Lower Mall Road is cracked further then the tourism to town of Nainital will come to stand still .
