Mischievous persons fly sky lanterns, violate ban

It seems that some mischievous persons of the region are yet to take the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan seriously.

Though most of the residents, including office-bearers of various social organisations, have starting following protocol and guidelines being given by the administration after the escalation of tension between India and Pakistan, there are still some elements who don’t hesitate from compounding the issues by violating the ban on bursting of crackers and flying sky lanterns just for fun sake.

Residents of the Dehliz Road were shocked to see crimson red projectiles passing over their houses late on Thursday, which they misunderstood to be missiles. However, later investigations revealed that some mischievous elements had allegedly bought sky lanterns and flown them with intent to scare people of the area. Occasional bursting of crackers was mistaken by residents as sounds of blasts.

Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Viraj S Tidkey has promulgated prohibitory orders banning bursting of crackers, besides flying of drones during festivities and wedding celebrations.
