New Theed is a notified area in Srinagar city in the Kashmir Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, India known for its historical significance and natural surroundings.
The people of New Theed are actually from 'Chasma Shahi (Old Theed). And were resettled to the current new theed somewhere between 1940 and 1942 by Maharaja Hari Singh. Quoting my grandmother's statement, she says, "We had houses and properties there, but then the Maharaja sent us here."
