Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

Police have intensified raids on sellers of dangerous Chinese nylon kite string. In two days, four sellers, including bookstore owners and technicians, were arrested and cases filed.

Although Makar Sankranti is in January, kite flying begins in November across the city. People of all ages participate in the activity. However, the use of dangerous nylon kite string to cut others' kites has increased. In the past month and a half, six people, including a young cricket player, were seriously injured due to nylon kite string. Last year, the High Court reprimanded the police and municipal authorities over selling nylon kite string. In response, the city police began a search campaign in December.
