In a significant incident at Nainital's well-known tourist spot, Tiffin Top—also called Dorothy's Seat—suffered significant damage as the structure collapsed due to a landslide triggered by heavy rains. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
The collapse took place around 11 pm on August 6, sending shockwaves through the town as the loud sound of falling boulders echoed. According to Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Pramod Kumar, deep cracks had developed in the hill leading up to Tiffin Top, which eventually caused the iconic Dorothy's Seat to break apart. The heavy showers that night proved to be the final straw, causing the structure to give way.
