In Uttar Pradesh, the battle against lethal Chinese kite string has intensified, with CM Yogi Adityanath equating its victims’ deaths to cold-blooded murder. This no-holds-barred approach seeks to eradicate a hazard that’s turned celebrations into calamities.
Acknowledging the ban’s enforcement gaps, Yogi issued marching orders for police to conduct province-spanning raids targeting every link in the manja chain—be it production, stockpiling, or peddling. ‘Its presence is intolerable,’ he affirmed.
High-level monitoring will track the campaign’s momentum, ensuring accountability at all tiers. The string’s vicious glass infusion makes it a silent assassin, claiming lives indiscriminately across urban and rural landscapes.
From harrowing tales of sliced throats during Sankranti kites to animal mutilations, the toll is undeniable. Yogi’s strategy combines deterrence through prosecutions with public education on safe alternatives, aiming for total elimination.
This proactive governance model prioritizes citizen security, signaling that archaic risks have no place in modern Uttar Pradesh. As teams fan out, the state braces for a transformative shift toward hazard-free skies.
