PS Tarnol police team arrested an accused namely Usman Ghani involved in kite selling and recovered kites and flying string rolls from his possession. Case has been registered against the nabbed accused.
Following the special directives of IGP Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir Khan, the Islamabad capital police were taking strict action in accordance with the law.
The parents are requested to stop their children from getting involved in such activities as a crackdown against kite sellers and flyers had already been accelerated in the city. Special squads had been formed to net the violators while SDPO’s and Station House Officers were also taking part in the operation. The officers concerned had been directed to utilize all available resources to control the kite flying and selling and to net the ban violators and the kite sellers. The kite flying ban violators were being dealt with an iron hand and no one would be allowed to violate the law and indulge in kite flying and selling.
The use of metal string for kite flying results in the loss of human lives therefore, all-out efforts are made to stop kite flying. The kite flying not only causes power outages due to hitting electric wires. It becomes a threat to human lives, while young people fall from the rooftops and become victims of life-long illness.
