'''Indira Nagar''' is a residential area in the city of [[Srinagar]] in the [[India]]n [[States and union territories of India|union territory]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mapsofindia.com/india/where-is-srinagar.html|title=Where is Srinagar?|website=Mapsofindia.com|access-date=2016-11-18}}</ref> It used to be a [[lake]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com:443/maps?q=Indra+Nagar+Lake,+Srinagar+190001&ftid=0x38e18f1558f5a0ef:0x6e2a13050fc2535f&hl=en&gl=us|title=Indra Nagar Lake |website=www.googlemaps.com}}</ref> before but now only a few hundred meters of the lake are left.

This area comes under the control of [[Badami Bagh]] [[Cantonment]] along with other areas like Batwara, Shivpora, and [[Sonwar Bagh]]. The cantonment is responsible for maintaining the roads, street lights, and other infrastructure, unlike other areas of Srinagar, which are maintained by [[Srinagar Municipal Corporation|the Srinagar Municipal Corporation]].

[[Kashmiri Pandit]]s, [[Muslim]]s, [[Sikh]]s, and [[Hindu]]s live in the area.

Over the years, this area has been commercialised by the construction of many hotels. It is located about {{convert|4|km|miles}} from the commercial hub of Kashmir, [[Lal Chowk]]. Indira Nagar is near G.B. Pant Children's Hospital. The [[Postal Index Number|pincode]] is 190004.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pincodes.info/in/Jammu-And-Kashmir/Srinagar/Batwara/Indira-Nagar-Sonwar-Srinagar/ |title=Pincode of Indira Nagar Sonwar Srinagar, Jammu And Kashmir |website=Pincodes.info |date=2016-11-11 |access-date=2016-11-18}}</ref>

This area falls under the [[Sonawar Assembly constituency|Sonwar]] constituency, for which the [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] is Mohammad Ashraf Mir.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.ndtv.com/assembly/election-results-jammu-and-kashmir-chief-minister-omar-abdullah-loses-from-sonawar-seat-717008|title=Mohammad Ashraf Mir Won | Sonawar Live Election Results 2014, Jk Elections Results, Jk Election News |website=ndtv.com|access-date=2016-11-18}}</ref>

Indira Nagar<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://m.ndtv.com/india-news/areas-worst-affected-by-floods-in-jammu-and-kashmir-660625|title=Kashmir Floods-2014|date=2014-09-08|website=www.ndtv.com}}</ref> was one of many areas of Srinagar, including Shivpora, [[Jawahar Nagar, Srinagar|Jawahar Nagar]], [[Rajbagh]], Gogji Bagh, Pandrathan, and Batwara, that were among the worst hit by [[2014 Kashmir floods|the 2014 Kashmir floods]]. Indira Nagar was completely submerged for more than 30 days. Many houses were damaged or destroyed due to the floods, but only a few people were killed. The water started to enter Indira Nagar at about 4:00 am because of a breach in [[Jhelum River|the Jhelum River]] bund. It took just a few hours to reach for the water level to rise and fill more than one and a half storeys. After the floods, people returned to their homes, began cleaning up, and resumed their routines, though life remained difficult.
