Kite sellers vow not to sell glass manjas
With the rise in number of accidents due to manja (kite thread), kite sellers in Jaipur ,Bikaner and jodhpur have decided not to sell manjas made of glass pieces this Makar Sakranti. Hence, kite fliers shouldn't be surprised if they don't find glass manjas in every kite shop.
"Since last two years, we have been advising people, especially the parents of little children, not to buy glass-coated manja for their children." a shopkeeper told media. He said that in recent times there has been growing concern over the use of glass manja, which at times pose grave threat to those riding two-wheelers and cycles. Even the birds flying in the sky get injured by the manja.
According to official estimate about 2,00,000 birds affect by glass manjas. 50 percent of them die and the rest loose their wings,eyes and could not fly for the rest of their life.
We should not do things for our pleasure which might cause danger to our friends (birds) which makes for our ecosystem and nature.
SAVE BIRDS!!.....LETs PLEDGE
