Srinagar’s First Bridge (Amira Kadal) Gets A New Lease Of Life

People walk across the newly renovated Amira Kadal footbridge in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on January 20, 2026. Built in the 1770s, Amira Kadal is Srinagar's first bridge. After nearly two years of restoration, it reopens as a pedestrian-only bridge, preserving its original foundations and adding new life to the Jhelum riverfront. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
