Delhi police join 'kuchu puchu' trend to ban Chinese manjha
The Delhi police want to talk to you about flying kites.
Kite flying is fun, but some people use a special string called Chinese manjha.
This string is very sharp and can hurt people, birds, and animals.
So the police say it is banned.
To get everyone's attention, the police made a funny post using 'kuchu puchu,' a popular internet phrase.
They said: 'Fly your kite, but say no to Chinese manjha, okay?'
The police are not just talking — they are also taking the string away.
One police team found and took more than 1,300 rolls of this dangerous string.
Another police team found about 120 more rolls.
Many people online liked the police's fun and modern message.
