2014 Kashmir Flood
Indira Nagar[7] was one of many areas of Srinagar, including Shivpora, Jawahar Nagar, Rajbagh, Gogji Bagh, Pandrathan, and Batwara, that were worst hit by 2014 Kashmir floods. Indira Nagar was completely submerged for more than 30 days. Many houses were destroyed and damaged due to the floods but only a few were killed. The water started to enter Indira Nagar at about 4:00 am because of a breach in Jhelum River bund. It took it just a few hours to reach a level to completely fill more than one and a half storeys. After the floods people returned to their houses, started to clean up the mess, and returned to routine life again which was now difficult to handle.
