Williamnagar, July 30: Get ready for an exciting fishing competition that aims to promote tourism in the picturesque town of Bajengdoba. Organized by the Maslenga Fishing Group, the event is set to take place on August 5th, 2023, at the scenic Dobakol in Bajengdoba, North Garo Hills.
The idyllic setting for the competition is the serene Bildeng Wari (lake), located near the National Highway and just behind the recently constructed petrol pump in Bajengdoba. Anglers from all over are invited to participate and indulge in a day of thrilling fishing experiences, starting from 9:20 am and concluding at 2:20 pm.
The stakes are high, with a handsome cash prize of Rs. 5,00,000/- for the first position, Rs. 3,00,000/- for the second position, and Rs. 1,50,000/- for the third position.
Additionally, 45 consolation prizes await the participants.
In a special interview with Hub News, one of the organisers, Breniar T. Sangma, shared the group’s motivation behind hosting the competition. The primary goal is to showcase the natural beauty of Bildeng Wari and promote tourism in the enchanting town of Bajengdoba. By attracting fishing enthusiasts to this exquisite location, they hope to foster a lasting connection between visitors and the captivating surroundings.
Sangma also revealed their efforts to enhance the fishing experience, stating that over 8 quintals of fish have been specially released into Bildeng Wari for the competition. He did mention that the lake is home to some turtles, but in the spirit of conservation, any angler catching a turtle during the event will be required to release it back into the lake, with their entry fee promptly refunded.
With ample space to accommodate over 1800 anglers, the organizers are expecting a sizable turnout, providing an opportunity for both participants and the local community to benefit from the event.
