History
Flood plain
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.{{Cite web|url=https://freepresskashmir.news/2017/10/04/how-convergence-of-bemina-from-flood-basin-to-residential-area-endangered-srinagar/|title = How conversion of Bemina from flood basin to residential area endangered Srinagar | Free Press Kashmir|date = 4 October 2017}}
