LAHORE - A stray kite string claimed life of a two-year-old girl in the Sabzazar police limits on Sunday.
Noor along with her father Jameel and four years old brother Hamza were on their way home on Sunday morning after visiting a market when a stray kite twine slit Noor’s throat. As a result, Jameel lost control on bike and fell on the road. They were rushed to a nearby hospital where Noor succumbed to her injuries while condition of Hamza was also said to be critical.
Meanwhile, police arrested three persons from the area on the charges of kite flying. Patrolling officers of Subzazar, Hunjarwal and Iqbal Town were also suspended over the mishap. Inquiry against SHO Subzazar Sharif Sindhu has also been ordered in this regard. A senior police officer said that they were trying to locate the house from where the kite was being flown.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif took notice of the deadly kite-flying incident and ordered strict action against violators. He announced Rs. 500,000 for aggrieved family and directed the authories concerned to take action against responsible.
Meanwhile, a 20 years old man was severely wounded by sharp kite string which cut his throat in Sialkot. The wounded man shifted to hospital where his treatment continued.
It should be mentioned that despite ban imposed by the Punjab government over kite flying due to losses of life and property, violation of the ban is common and innocent citizens especially children fall victim and the police and local administration is silent and doing nothing to take action against the violators of ban.
