Delhi Police recover 30 rolls of banned manja, one arrested

Police officers in Delhi are working hard to keep people safe before Independence Day.

A special kind of kite string called manja is dangerous because it is coated with tiny bits of glass.

This string is banned, which means it is against the law to sell or use it.

Some people were secretly selling this dangerous string.

The police got a secret tip and went to a place called Seelampur to investigate.

They found 30 rolls of the banned string and put one man under arrest.

This sharp string can badly hurt people and birds.

A little girl in Hyderabad and a man in Telangana lost their lives earlier this year when the string got caught around their necks.

That is why the police are checking places and stopping sellers of this deadly string.

The investigation is still going on to find the people who supply it.
