Chinese manjha, made of synthetic materials and coated with glass, is sharp and durable. It can cause severe injuries, often cutting through skin and flesh, and poses a significant threat to wildlife. Despite strict regulations, its illegal sale continues unabated, endangering lives.

Appeal to the Public

Authorities and activists urge the public to refrain from buying or using Chinese manjha and report illegal sales to local authorities. Switching to eco-friendly kite strings can help ensure the safety of both humans and animals.
