Tanvir Sadiq launches Rs 42.59 lakh bridge project to connect interior Dal Lake Behri

Srinagar, Nov 27: Fulfilling election commitment, MLA Zadibal and Chief Spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq laid the foundation stone for a long-awaited bridge that will provide dignified and reliable connectivity to over 40,000 residents of Mir Behri Dal, said a party press release.

The Rs 42.59 lakh project will connect Moti Mohalla, Kani Kachi, Nishat, Naidyar, Chowdhary Bagh, Gurpora, and several other habitations across interior Dal Lake—bringing a transformative change to some of the most isolated communities in the region.

Mir Behri, one of Srinagar’s most unique and vibrant lake settlements, has long faced challenges due to inadequate connectivity. The new bridge is expected to ease daily movement, improve access to essential services, and enhance socio-economic opportunities for residents.

Speaking on the occasion, Tanvir Sadiq said, “One of my foremost promises was to ensure a proper, dependable connection for the people of Mir Behri. Today marks a major step towards that commitment. This bridge will not only connect habitations but also connect our people to better opportunities and an improved quality of life.” He congratulated the residents of Mir Behri and expressed gratitude to all departments, engineers, and community members who supported the initiative. “This project reflects our collective resolve to bring ease, dignity, and development to every corner of Zadibal,” he added.

The project is expected to be completed within the stipulated time frame, paving the way for improved mobility and long-term transformation of the interior Dal Lake areas. Senior engineers from various departments and local party functionaries were also present on the occasion.
