n a bid to rejuvenate Srinagar's cultural and architectural heritage, old landmarks are undergoing a transformative facelift. The historic Habba Kadal bridge, dating back to an era of significance, is part of the ambitious redevelopment project, with an estimated cost of ?9.80 billion.

The reinvention of Srinagar's landmarks is not merely a restoration but a comprehensive effort to blend the city's rich history with modern aesthetics. The makeover encompasses Habba Kadal bridge and other historic sites, aiming to create a harmonious balance between preserving the city's cultural identity and embracing contemporary design principles.

The restoration project holds cultural significance, as it breathes new life into structures that have stood witness to the city's history. The Habba Kadal bridge, in particular, serves as a symbol of the city's legacy, and its redevelopment is a testament to Srinagar's commitment to preserving its heritage for future generations.

Beyond the aesthetic enhancements, the initiative is expected to contribute to the economic revitalisation of the region, potentially boosting tourism and creating a sense of pride among the local community. As Srinagar's landmarks undergo this transformation, the city is poised to emerge with a renewed identity that seamlessly integrates the old and the new.
