This road is the most popular destination for shopping and enjoying scenic views at the very same time. One can enjoy these views by sipping up a hot favorite coffee. The ridge and the scandal point(mentioned above), is a popular spot for gathering. The mall road is connected to the ridge, on the same spot where the leader – Lala Lajpat Rai’s statue has been erected on the scandal point.
