Nainital's Foundation Day celebrated


Nainital, November 18
The citizens of the Lake City celebrated the birthday of their town by organising various events. The celebrations were held at the Government Girls Inter-College at the Tallital area of the town where blankets were distributed among the poor. Sweaters were also given away to a large number of needy students from various schools.
A large number of people had gathered to savor the delicacies and wish each other. Game shows and cultural events were also held apart from a prayer held by religious heads from various communities. The day is celebrated to mark the discovery of the town by a Britisher, Rosa P Barron, in 1939. So charmed was he by the place that he laid the foundation of the town at the place.
Despite grappling with civic problems resulting from the increasing population pressure and the failure of the authorities on various fronts, Nainital has managed to retain the place as a global tourist destination all these years.
