Public broadcasts warn people not to fly kites, and authorities record crimes and arrest makers of metal and kite strings.

In Lahore, the police detained 29 kite flyers and confiscated chemical string and kites from their homes.

In Khushab, police patrolling tall structures confiscated fifty strings laced with chemicals and two thousand kites from a vendor.

Following raids on Faisalabad’s string manufacturing plants, police detained 13 people they suspected of being involved in a deadly industry. Kites, raw materials, and metal string-making devices were also taken by the authorities.

Thirteen kite dealers were detained by police during raids on two string manufacturing factories in Madanpura, Faisalabad. Six metal string-making devices and kites were also seized.

During a raid at a Manawala plant, police confiscated 30,000 kites along with the raw materials needed to make one lac kites.

According to the Faisalabad police, 158 people—including 17 kite makers—have been taken into custody.

According to police, 153 incidents have been reported in the previous 48 hours.

Eight kite merchants in Cheechawatani, three in Sadiq Abad, and three kite sellers in Pakpattan have all been taken into custody by the department.

Raids have also been carried out by police at Mustafa Abad, Mianwali, and Narowal.

Despite the province-wide ban on kite flying, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz had voiced grave worries about the frequent casualties from the activity.

The chief minister, presiding over a law and order meeting, stated that punishing offenders is necessary in addition to simply filing a complaint.

“After seeing the video of the child who died from the kite’s string, I was devastated,” the woman remarked. According to CM Maryam Nawaz, swift action is required to put the law into effect.

Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has threatened to storm Islamabad, according to Khawaja Saad Rafique, a former minister and leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). This is a very serious situation.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration has reportedly launched attacks on the federal capital in the past in an attempt to seize Islamabad, according to Saad Rafiq on the social media platform X (previously Twitter).

“However, PTI got nothing and it resulted in creating chaos, hatred and economic destruction,” he continued.

He added, “If the anarchists attack Islamabad to occupy it this time too, it will become impossible for them to return as rulers.”

According to the leader of the PML-N, fascist behavior will no longer be accepted, and the dirty politics of violence, fire, and ransacking will no longer be effective.

The PTI, he said, has to act rationally and refrain from inciting another May 9.
