This beautiful scene is ideal for outings and evening strolls. Massive flow/froth of water during opening of gates in monsoon season and accompanying vibration of bridge are particular attraction among locals. Though in past, mis- or non-communication about the discharge of water to residents near river bank has resulted in lost of lives of persons engaged in swimming or washing activities downstream.
