Phagwara, February16

A 10-year-old girl was seriously injured after Chinese kite string got entangled around her neck in Dhayan Singh Colony on Friday. She was taken to the Civil Hospital where she received several stitches on her neck. Senior Medical Officer Dr Lehimber Ram said the condition of the girl, identified as Rani, was stable now.

Kite flyers were least bothered about the harm the banned string could bring to residents, said social activist Malkiat Singh Ragbotra. The ban on the Chinese string should be enforced strictly as it had caused many accidents, he said. Violators should be punished strictly, he said.
