It is situated almost halfway between Delhi, the national capital and Lucknow, the state capital. It also provide an outer gateway for the people of Kumaon region of the neighbouring state of Uttarakhand. The city also houses some of the best hospitals in state so many people from surrounding regions visit this city daily to seek medical benefit.
