Dal Lake's transformation: Sunset park shaping new tourist haven

The Jammu and Kashmir government is intensifying efforts on multiple fronts as part of the Srinagar Smart City project. Officials have disclosed that one of the key aspects of this endeavour is the development of a Sunset Park along the Dal Lake, featuring viewing decks designed to showcase the lake's natural splendour. This initiative is set to transform Dal Lake into a major attraction, offering both residents and tourists a seamless and delightful experience by the scenic waterfront, stated an official. The Sunset Park, a well-known recreational area, is undergoing enhancements through the Smart City initiative, including the construction of pathways to improve accessibility and safety in public spaces. These projects are meticulously planned, incorporating thoughtfully designed walkways, effective lighting, and landscaping techniques to create pedestrian-friendly environments. The specific details and progress of these initiatives are contingent upon the city's ongoing efforts and developments. Mohammad Iqbal, a contractor with Srinagar Smart City Ltd, emphasized, The ongoing construction work will significantly enhance the city's aesthetics, drawing tourists to Sunset Park where they can leisurely enjoy the beauty of Dal Lake. The establishment of Sunset Park and its accompanying infrastructure will not only augment the area's appeal but also introduce a fresh tourist destination. These viewing decks, designed for both tourists and locals, are expected to rejuvenate Dal Lake's charm while providing enhanced facilities for visitors to immerse themselves in the region's rich heritage, as per official statements.
