The incidents have once again brought the menace of sale and use of banned nylon manja in limelight. Though Nagpur police have taken action against some vendors, they have failed to enforce a ban on its sale in the city as the incidents show.
Last year, the 20-year old Pranay Prakash Thakre was killed near Imambada after the deadly nylon manja slit his throat. He died on the spot with his respiratory tract cut off by the manja. This was the third death related to kite-flying last year.
