planning the tourist season every year can cost us a loss of such flora and fauna
of the region. Global warming is no hidden factor of degradation of natural re-
sources and excessive carbon footprints led to cancerous symptoms in the re-
gion. Hence, monitoring and regulating of traffic in the main town can decrease
not only the carbon footprint but also local average temperature too.
Unless the municipal committees of Nainital take effective action over disposal
of solid and liquid waste, there is a major possibility that the lake will shrink to
its utmost depth gradually. According to papers released by the Pantnagar Uni-
versity of Agriculture, Segregated waste management and the strict ban on the
use of polymeric bags can lead to a healthy environment in the town. Besides
this recommendation, the quarrying of lake’s soil in Thandi Road of Tallital
region was in progress in the month of July to let the water of Naini lake in-
crease its volume and regain its area. This step is not only a sign of low quotient
of knowledge in our gov-
ernment but also an alert
about the mining mafias
in the region.
Though localities stood
in early 2017, for cleanli-
ness of the town and the
lake, there is a require-
ment of a mass move-
ment to aware the tourists
and vendors from Uttar
Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, and Haryana. The excessive use of non-degradable poly-
mers can lead to choking of Swachha Bharat Abhiyan but also the daily need of
the Nainital’s residents.
