Srinagar, Jan 20: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday inaugurated the redeveloped Amira Kadal Bridge in Srinagar, describing it as a symbol of the city’s harmonious blend of heritage and modern infrastructure under the Srinagar Smart City Project.
Addressing reporters after the inauguration, LG Sinha said the historic Amira Kadal Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Srinagar, has been completely rebuilt and upgraded with modern amenities to enhance pedestrian convenience.
“The Amira Kadal Bridge, reconstructed under the Smart City initiative, reflects our commitment to integrating Srinagar’s rich heritage with contemporary civic facilities,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
He added that the project is aimed at creating vibrant public spaces while reconnecting Srinagar’s historic core with modern urban life. “Through such initiatives, the traditional charm and the old connection between Srinagar and Shehr-e-Khaas will be revived,” LG Sinha said.
