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.
