Thieves are stealing fish from the Jayanti Sarovar in Jamshedpur

The Jayanti Sarovar located in the premises of the Tata Zoo in Jamshedpur is spread over 20-acre and large fish like rohu and katla flourish in the waters but thieves steal the prized catch at night and the anglers are a worried lot.
Mombers of the Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC) have now formed squads of eight or ten enthusiasts who will provide coverage at night from 10pm to 4am. They have already been doing it for the last five days with members taking turns for night duty. They have obtained necessary from the local police.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 7 March 2017.

The anglers complain that the security at the Tata zoo is very lax and private security guards of the zoo operate with the thieves, who enter the lake area from the zoo - the gates of Jubilee Park close at 9pm and reopen at 7am. It seems the thieves jump the zoo wall from the Marine Drive side and walk home with their booty by using the same route and are usually active between 12.30am and 2.30am.
Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC)releases fingerlings into the lake every year but the stock keeps reducing drastically because of the theft.

Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur suspends its spectacular musical fountain show

Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur is a sprawling 200-acre green lung of the steel city and it has suspended its spectacular musical fountain show since last week because 24 out of the 100 jet nozzles of the fountains had gone missing over the past week.
These had been installed by a Bangalore firm and the nozzles are not available locally. Hence, the fountain show has been suspended and is not likely to resume before another fortnight. The nozzles appear to have been stolen.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 16 November 2016.

The musical show in Jubilee Park is held thrice a week Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The sprawling park is a golden jubilee gift from Tata Steel to the industrial city and is inspired by the Vrindavan Gardens of Mysore. It was inaugurated by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Incidentally, the fountains were revamped and redesigned near the Rose Garden, Moghul Garden and JN Tata statue in 2012 and more than 2,000 people visit the park every day while the number swells to over 5,000 on weekends.

Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC) organises day-long angling competition with easier rules

Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC) is all set to host a daylong angling competition in Jayanti Sarovar to mark the 112th birth anniversary of JRD Tata, the doyen of Indian industry. It is expected that around 60 anglers from Jamshedpur, Ranchi, Durgapur, Kharagpur, Ghatshila and Bhubaneswar will take part in the event.
This year, a number of steps have been taken to ensure less disappointment for the anglers.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 29 July 2016.

One of the revised rules is - anglers can use multiple hooks and throw their bait till an unlimited distance. Their chances will be bright if the range of the bait is more. This will help them net more number of fish. It is usual for anglers to hurl the bait at a distance of around 60 feet. This earlier was two hooks till a distance of 30 feet.
Moreover, JAC has released around 2.5 lakh fish fries in the 20-acre lake last month. Obviously, anglers are assured of hooking and bringing in better.
The club is charging Rs 1,200 per contestant and will provide anglers with a fishing platform and lunch packet.
