JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader from Jammu & Kashmir, Ishant Mahajan, has issued a fervent appeal to the people of the Union Territory to completely desist from using Chinese Manjha (Gattu) during the upcoming Raksha Bandhan festival for kite flying activities.
Expressing deep concern over the hazardous impact of the banned thread, Mahajan particularly urged the youth to take the lead in resisting the use of Chinese Manjha and discourage their peers and families from purchasing or using the deadly thread. He highlighted that despite the ban, some unscrupulous traders continue to sell the dangerous material, risking lives for personal gain.
“The Chinese Manjha is not only illegal but poses a grave threat to human lives, particularly children and bikers. It is equally dangerous for birds and stray animals who often get entangled in the sharp thread, leading to fatal injuries. It’s high time we, especially the youth, take it upon ourselves to put an end to this menace by saying no to Chinese Manjha,” Ishant Mahajan said.
He also appealed to citizens to stay vigilant and report anyone involved in the sale or distribution of the banned thread to the local authorities. “Only through community cooperation and awareness can we protect lives and ensure a safe, joyful celebration for everyone during Raksha Bandhan,” he added.
Mahajan further emphasized the need to adopt safe and eco-friendly alternatives and urged shopkeepers and kite vendors to support the cause by strictly adhering to the ban.
