Srinagar, Mar 30 : Once known as the city of seven bridges, Srinagar is now left with only two historic bridges.
The bridges connected various parts of the city on either side of the Jhelum river. In the annals of Srinagar, these seven bridges were Amira Kadal, Haba Kadal, Fateh Kadal, Zaina Kadal, Aali Kadal, Nawa Kadal and Safa Kadal.
The two remaining historical bridges, Zaina Kadal and Haba Kadal remind us about the saga of architecture and construction material of yore.
Looking at the two surviving bridges, people wonder as to how these massive bridges of wood were constructed.
