Beware of kite flying from China Door, deadly hobby will no longer be allowed in Ludhiana, ADM issued orders

News India Live, Digital Desk: The festival of Lohri and Basant Panchami in Punjab seems incomplete without kite flying. The sky is ready to be filled with colorful kites, but amidst all this excitement, there is one danger which extinguishes the lamp of some house every year, that is ‘China Door’ or plastic manjha. This time, the Ludhiana administration has decided that the joy of the festival will not be allowed to turn into mourning. The Additional District Magistrate (ADM), Ludhiana, has issued a strict order and has completely banned the sale, storage and use of synthetic, nylon, plastic or glass/metal coated Manjha in the entire district. Clear warning: Not just selling, flying is also a crime. Often people think that the police will only catch shopkeepers, but this time the rules are Is for everyone. The administration has made it clear that making, selling, storing China string and even flying kites with it is all illegal. These orders have been issued under Section 163 of the Indian Civil Security Code (BNSS). Why is it called ‘Khooni Door’? We all know how dangerous this door is. It does not break easily and is so sharp that it can slit the throat of a bike rider or cause serious injury to a pedestrian. Along with humans, it also becomes a time for voiceless birds. Every day, birds trapped in trees or wires get cut by this string and lose their lives. Also, this string is a conductor of electricity, due to which there is a risk of electric shock to the children flying kites. It has been said in the police order that this ban has come into effect with immediate effect and will continue till further orders. Ludhiana Police will now keep a special vigil in the markets and localities. This initiative of the administration is not just to enforce the law, but for our and your safety. Therefore, this Lohri, use only plain cotton thread for your kite. Remember, it is not wise to risk someone’s life in pursuit of a cheap and solid thread worth a few rupees. Festivals are for sharing happiness, not for giving pain.
