History

Bemina has no native population. All the people who live here are immigrants from various areas of Kashmir. The native and old population of Bemina lives at what is known today as Khomeini Chowk. Bemina is thus an extension of Khomeini Chowk. Bemina was mostly marshy land which surrounded Khomeini Chowk. Even today the elder people use Bemina for Khomeini Chowk.
