BOLENG, Oct 25: One of the much awaited annual event of Siang district, the 3rd edition of  Siang-Simang Angling Festival was  held in a small but colourful manner at Simang-Siang confluence Boleng on October 24.
Flagging off the event, Director of Tourism, Abu Tayeng  said that angling is a multi-million dollar business. Anglers across the world over, trek long distances to just have the fun or feel of catching a big fish. The Siang-Siyom angling spot is such that one can come here on vehicle, alight and catch a big golden Mahsheer in 20 minutes. This is not possible anywhere in the world, Tayeng said. He also appealed the organisers, locals and the administrator to protect and preserve the ecosystem of Simang-Siyom, river, forest and fishes from extinction.

This festival annually draws large number of participants and tourists from far and wide. This year due to covid pandemic, unlike the usual 3 day, the event was shortened to one day only and very limited participants were entertained. All the participants were screened for covid-19 & SOPs were strictly adhered to. Simi Dai from Pasighat walked away with the angling trophy. 
In addition tree plantation was carried out in the festival ground. DIPRO
