Uttarakhand High Court Permits Relocation of Nainital Statues
Imagine you're walking in Nainital, and there are statues of important people like Mahatma Gandhi and Govind Ballabh Pant.
The High Court said it's okay to move these statues to make it easier for people to walk around and to help with traffic.
The statues will be moved a little bit, about the length of a few cars, from where they are now.
The court decided this because it wants to make the area better for everyone.
The court also told the people in charge to fix up the statues if they need it.
It was decided because some people weren't happy about the statues being moved, and the court looked at everyone's opinions and made the decision.
