Sangrur, Jan. 29 -- Two weeks after a 12-year-old boy died after falling from the third floor of his house in Tungan village in Sangrur district, the neighbouring villages have passed a resolution banning kite flying and in the wake of recent deaths and injuries caused by the use of banned 'Chinese manjha', glass-coated synthetic strings used for flying kites. Gurwinder Singh, the sarpanch of Jhaloor village, stated that they passed this resolution for the welfare of children. "We have made public announcements in the village that no person or child should use Chinese manjha or engage in kite flying," Singh said. Similarly, the panchayat of Phumanwal village has also passed a similar resolution against the sale and flying of kites. The village authorities announced that if anyone is caught flying or selling kites, they will be required to pay a fine of Rs.5,000. Bhaini Chuhar village in Bathinda has also passed resolutions in their respective panchayats to ban kite flying and the sale of kites. A 15-year-old boy died after the 'Chinese manjha' slit his neck when he was riding a motorbike in Samrala in Ludhiana district a few days ago. On Sunday, Sarabjit Kaur lost her life when the kite string caused serious injuries around her neck while she was on her way on a scooter in Mullanpur in Ludhiana. She was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. HTC...
