Chinar Bagh is among the latest addition to the famous gardens of Srinagar. It was recently constructed by the Tourism Department of Srinagar at a cost of around 3 crore rupees. Also known as Boene Bagh or Chinar Bagh Heritage Park, it was established with the objective of presenting the culture and traditions of Kashmir to tourists. But now the park lies abandoned, with its maintenance overlooked by the authorities. In last three years, Kashmir witnessed a drastic rise in drug abuse. Thousands of people, mostly youth, are slipping into the dark alleys of drug addiction with the Valley flooded with huge quantities of narcotics. And Chinar Bagh couldn’t escape it either and ended up becoming another hub. The locals told The Kashmir Walla that they are requesting the administration to take actions.
