Phone Call Saves Man from Chinese Manjha Injury
In Indore, a man named Rehan was riding his motorcycle when a sharp kite string called Chinese manjha got wrapped around his neck.
Luckily, he had slowed down to check a phone call, so the injury wasn't too bad.
Passersby helped him to the hospital.
Another man, Jeevan, also got hurt by the same kind of string, cutting his toe badly.
Sadly, a 16-year-old boy named Gulshan died from a similar accident earlier.
These incidents show how dangerous the sharp kite strings can be.
A 30-year-old man's life was saved by a phone call that made him slow down before a sharp Chinese manjha could severely injure him.
The incident occurred in the Hathipala area of Indore, with the victim being rushed to MY Hospital for treatment.
A separate incident involved a 27-year-old man suffering a deep cut to his toe from Chinese manjha near Robot Square.
On November 30, a 16-year-old boy died after his neck was slashed by Chinese manjha on Bypass Road.
The use of sharp synthetic Chinese manjha for kite flying has led to multiple severe injuries and at least one fatality in Indore.
