Despite the administration’s claims that no Chinese string (manjha) was found during recent raids at shops selling kites and related items, two incidents at Gidderanwali village in the district on Tuesday evening highlighted the continued use of the banned material. Two bikers were injured by Chinese string within minutes of each other.
According to reports, 45-year-old Bhala Ram and another individual sustained serious injuries. Bhala Ram, along with his 22-year-old son Sanjay, was travelling to their village, Maujgarh, on a bike when they witnessed a biker being injured by Chinese thread near Gidderanwali. Moments later, the same thread wrapped around Bhala Ram’s neck, causing severe injuries to his neck and hand.
