Fish Carnival at Mahisabeel: Thousands Gather to Reel in the Bounty

In a surprising turn of events, Mahisabeel, once in spotlight for the horrifying flood of 2022, is now again a topic of wonder for an entirely different reason – a spectacular fish carnival that has attracted thousands from across the district.

The aftermath of the 2022 flood brought an unexpected silver lining as an influx of fish populated Mahisabeel’s waters. Recently, with the water level receding, the abundance of fish became evident, sparking a frenzy among locals who wasted no time in seizing the opportunity.

The news of this piscatorial bounty spread like wildfire across the district, drawing thousands of people to the wetlands of Mahisabeel. The scene resembles a vibrant carnival, with men and even women trying their luck at catching fish through various inventive methods.

One resident from the Berenga area was spotted proudly carrying a bag bursting with various local fish breeds. He revealed that during the high water levels, people refrained from fishing in Mahisabeel. However, with the water levels subsiding, the people are trying to reap rich rewards as much as possible.

A local eyewitness described the influx of people as a ‘Fish Carnival,’ emphasizing the lively atmosphere as individuals from both the district and beyond flocked to Mahisabeel. The wetlands are alive with the sounds of excitement, as people dash towards the water, eager to try their hand at the unexpected bounty, while others proudly return with their impressive catches. This gathering of people is indeed a sight to behold and a unique as well as unexpected event to witness in the starting of a new year.
