The parents are requested to stop their children from getting involved in such activities as a crackdown against kite sellers and flyers had already been accelerated in the city. Special squads had been formed to net the violators while SDPO’s and SHO’s were also taking part in the operation.
DIG Raza directed all officers to utilize all available resources to control the kite flying and selling and to net the ban violators and the kite sellers. The kite flying ban violators were being dealt with an iron hand and no one would be allowed to violate the law.
The use of metal string for kite flying results in the loss of human lives therefore, all-out efforts are made to stop kite flying.

It becomes a threat to human lives as well, while younger people fall from the rooftops and become victims of life-long paralysis.
