Jaunpur witnessed a tragic incident on Thursday morning when a private tutor lost his life after his throat was caught in Chinese kite string (manjha). The incident occurred as the teacher was returning home after dropping his daughter off at school.
Following the incident, the injured teacher was immediately taken to the hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. His death has cast a pall of grief over his family and the local community.
Police and local residents are concerned about this incident. Questions are being raised regarding the lack of safety precautions surrounding Chinese manjha and the dangers it poses. People have begun demanding strict action and a ban on these hazardous strings.
This incident once again demonstrates the high cost of unsafe manjha, and therefore, everyone should exercise caution and stay away from unauthorized, dangerous kite strings.
