Healing Touch: Army Gives up Military Base in Srinagar for Public Park | Read

The sounds of boots in a military drill will soon be replaced with the cackles of children at play. A military base in Srinagar is making way for a public park in Srinagar. After more than a decade-long tussle between the Indian Army and the state government over who owns the Tattoo ground in Srinagar, the two sides have agreed to jointly develop a park there. The park is being developed on 17 acres of prime land vacated by the army in the middle of a 200 acre military garrison.
