Here’s presenting our much awaited video: ‘Srinagar - The City of Bridges (Version 2.0)’. As promised, this video includes newly constructed bridges as well as the ones that didn’t feature in the previous year’s version. A brief overview: Srinagar is also known as the Venice of the East. River Jhelum is an integral part of the old city of Srinagar. Nine bridges span the River Jhelum, and many tiny ones intersect the network of waterways that flow through the old city. These nine bridges are Zero Bridge, Amira Kadal, Budshah Kadal, Habba Kadal, Fateh Kadal, Zaina Kadal, Aali Kadal, Nawa Kadal and Safa Kadal, ‘Kadal’ being the Kashmiri word for bridge. Of these Budshah Bridge and Zero Bridge are the newest; the former having been constructed by the British in this century. Presently, the oldest bridge is Fateh Kadal, too dilapidated for actual use. However, many of the old bridges have been replaced with new concrete bridges and a few new ones have also been added in view of the increasing traffic
