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

News India Live, Digital Desk: In Punjab, the festival of Lohri and Basant Panchami 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 completely banning the sale, storage and use of manjas having synthetic, nylon, plastic or glass/metal coating in the entire district.

Clear warning: not only selling but also blowing is a crime

Often people think that the police will only catch shopkeepers, but this time the rules are 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).

After all, why is it called ‘Khooni Dor’?

We all know how dangerous this string 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 children flying kites.

police’s watchful eye

The order states that this restriction has come into effect with immediate effect and will continue until 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.
