Bemina is a region in the city of Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is in the heart of the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir just about 4 km (2.5 mi) from Lal Chowk.

Etymology
[edit]Bemina was originally called "Abhimanyupur".[3][4]
History
[edit]Bemina was a nabal before it was developed by srinagar development authority .[3]
Flood plain
[edit]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]
