The grim discovery of Syed Shoaib’s body after a Chinese manja attack in Lucknow has unleashed a governmental storm. The 34-year-old Dubagga native was biking near Bazarkhala’s Haiderganj overbridge when the deadly string struck, cutting deep into his throat. Hospital staff confirmed his death, fueling public anger and official resolve.
Enter Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who has redefined the narrative on these incidents. What were once dismissed as mishaps are now homicides under his administration. This landmark decision targets the root: the unchecked proliferation of Chinese manja, a product with a bloody track record.
Immediate directives ban all facets of its lifecycle—from factories to end-users. Police are spearheading district-level sweeps, backed by consciousness-raising programs. Yogi’s office promises meticulous monitoring, ensuring accountability at every level.
Why the urgency? Chinese manja’s glass-coated ferocity turns playful kites into weapons, endangering commuters and revelers. Scores have suffered mangled faces, blinded eyes, and worse. By equating suppliers with murderers, the state aims to dismantle the supply chain overnight.
From bustling Lucknow lanes to remote hamlets, no stone is left unturned. Violators face imprisonment and fines, deterring future risks. This holistic campaign blends enforcement with education, urging a return to harmless traditions. Uttar Pradesh sets a precedent, prioritizing lives over lethal luxuries.
