Jammu and Kashmir: Fishing competition hosted in Pahalgam
Pahalgam: A fishing competition was organized in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on Sunday with an aim to promote adventure sports and activities.
The competition was organized by Kashmir Angler’s federation (KAF) in collaboration with the department of tourism and fisheries.
Fazlul Haseeb (Director Tourism Kashmir) told ANI, “Kashmir valley which is also known as an angler’s paradise and the trout fish of the valley is famous all over the world which can attract a large number of international angling lovers from different parts of the world. I think in the case of adventurous sports, angling has been always a traditionally part of Kashmiris. Through this event, we are being supported by the department of fisheries and it’s wonderful to see so many anglers from the different parts of the country including local anglers who come forward to help us ensure that angling is an adventure sport.”
Adventure lovers cherished the initiative.
“Kashmir valley has huge potential for angling and in the past hundreds of anglers have visited the valley for angling and such activities have always helped to promote adventure sports and tourism. I say this it is a very dangerous drug but it has no side effects. This competition is a very good step taken for both the locals and the visitors,” Mohamad Yousuf, Angler, told ANI.
