Kites are being flown from apartments and rooftops, causing accidents by getting caught in tree branches and electric wires and hanging on the road. They are made of nylon and synthetic fibers and coated with glass powder and metal powder, making them extremely sharp and dangerous. As the Sankranti festival approaches, the purchase of kites and Chinese manjas has increased in the city. Shops in Cyberabad are being inspected and Chinese manja sales are being identified.

Not only humans, but also birds and other creatures are in danger. Their wings are getting entangled in threads and they are dying because they cannot fly. Stray dogs and cattle are getting injured by threads wrapping around their legs. Last year, 53 cases were registered against Chinamanja sellers in Cyberabad. The police are currently warning that cases will be registered against the traders.

POLICE INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not buy or sell Chinese thread, nylon, glass or metal coated thread. Only cotton threads should be used.
• Its sale, storage, and transportation are illegal.
• Extra precautions are essential when flying kites on rooftops and terraces.
• Kites should not be flown on roads, main highways, or areas with heavy traffic.
• Flying kites near power lines, transformers, and cell towers is dangerous.
• Two-wheeler riders must wear helmets. This will help prevent accidents to some extent.

• If you see kite strings hanging on the road, you should inform GHMC officials. (Maxim News)
