The Srinagar district administration has said that it has taken an initiative to establish the “largest” Chinar park of Kashmir ‘ChinarZaar’ (The Valley of Chinars) on the foothills of the Zabarwan mountains.
The ChinarZaar will be spread over nearly 400 kanals of land and would be developed as an exclusive green zone to attract more tourists and local visitors.
As many as 75 chinar trees are being planted by August 15 to celebrate 75 years of the independence.
Srinagar Deputy Commissioner (DC), Mohammad Aijaz Asad directed the officers of all departments to work in a coordinated manner for the development of the largest Chinar park and complete the prestigious project within a set timeline.
The DC said that Chinar tree is the legacy of Kashmir and is a living heritage and has a deep cultural value in the history of Kashmir.
