Hyderabad Policeman Warns of Nylon Manja Dangers
A traffic policeman in Hyderabad showed how dangerous nylon manja, a type of kite string, can be.
He used a cucumber to show how easily it can cut things.
He also talked to a boy flying a kite with this string and asked why he didn't use a normal thread instead.
The policeman wants people to say no to Chinese nylon manja because it can be very harmful.
He said that while kites can fly again, lives lost cannot be brought back.
This was to make people understand the serious risks of using this kind of string.
Meanwhile, in Indore, two motorcyclists were injured by the same type of kite string.
One of them, a 45-year-old man named Raghuveer Dhakad, died after his throat was slit by the string while riding his motorcycle.
Another young man, Narendra Jamod, sustained a severe neck cut in a separate incident.
The police are investigating these accidents and have launched probes into the cases.
