Kite Flying Banned
Kite flying has been banned by the Punjab government in the province but despite this it is being violated by the public instead of using deadly metal and chemical strings to fly kites.
However, when the CCTV footage of the recent incident came out, there is a lot of anger in the public and people are demanding strict action against the elements involved in kite flying.
On the other hand, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has also taken notice of the incident and ordered to make chemical doors and crack down on the sellers.
However, it is believed that social media is being widely used for buying and selling of kites, chemical strings and drugs, which is a difficult task for the police to check.
According to reports, hundreds of websites are involved in these illegal businesses.
