Srinagar Smart City Drainage Failure
Despite ₹792 crore spent under the Smart City project, major roads, hospitals and residential areas continue to flood after just hours of rain, most recently in July 2026 when dozens of neighbourhoods were submerged; SMC identified ~60 waterlogging hotspots citywide.
Sanat Nagar Flyover: Repeated Missed Deadlines
Proposed by NHAI in 2020 with an original June 2024 completion deadline, this flyover on the Srinagar bypass has missed at least three successive deadlines (June 2024, June 2025, September 2025, and again in November 2025), causing daily traffic chaos on one of the city's busiest stretches. As of November 2025 it was still not fully open despite officials repeatedly declaring it "almost ready."
Frequently Asked
Visitor questions
What is the number one place to see in Srinagar?
Scroll to the list. It runs newest first, by the most recent year on record for each entry, so whatever the city has managed most recently sits at the top. Entries with no documented year are filed at the end.
Are these attractions safe to visit?
Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.
How much did these projects cost?
Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.
