History[]

Bemina was founded by a local king of Kashmir, Abhimanyu.[3]

Flood Plain[]

Bemina was settled on the local floodplains of adjoining rivers. Unplanned and Haphazard construction led to usurpation of flood plains. A direct consequence of this is that it is one of the most flood prone areas in the Srinagar city.[5]
