Thieves have stolen a granite tile fixed on top of the boundary wall at the Pant Park in Mallital area of Nainital. On Wednesday, this correspondent noticed a granite slab about six feet long missing from the top of the boundary wall in Pant Park. The place where this granite slab was fixed is where the Naini lake view point has been made with costly tiles and stones being used for the site. This place in Pant Park is popular among tourists who lounge here and take selfies. The municipality had placed chairs at various places in the park but these too appear to be missing from some spots. Roadside vendors have also encroached in some spots even as the fancy benches provided for people to rest are not seen here. The locals point out that the municipality office is located nearby but the officials seem unaware of the bench and granite slab are missing. It is pertinent to mention here that the Pant Park is quite popular with the tourists along with the locals in Nainital.
