AlManzar, a tourist spot on Kotri barrage in Jamshoro district, has lately been witnessing a large number of visitors as the weather has turned pleasant.
Although River Indus flows alongside Hyderabad's huge stretch, alManzar provides the only riverside setting for the people. With the onset of monsoon a few days ago, the place began to receive tens of thousands of visitors, choking the bridge over the barrage and the two hotels by the riverside, every day.
"It took us 45 to 50 minutes to cross the bridge in our car," said Bahzad Ali, a resident of Hyder Chowk area in Hyderabad who visited the place on Saturday. "If I hadn't been with my family, I would have preferred to take a walk and park my car on Hyderabad-Jamshoro Road."
