Bidhannagar cop injured from Chinese manjha on Maa Flyover

In a concerning incident highlighting the ongoing dangers associated with illegal kite-flying materials, an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) from the Bidhannagar Police, Shahnawaz Ali, was injured on Sunday after getting entangled in China Manjha while traveling on the Maa Flyover. The use of this hazardous thread, known for its sharpness and ability to cause severe injuries, has been banned by authorities due to its associated risks, yet it continues to be used indiscriminately.

The incident occurred as ASI Ali was making his way from Park Circus to Bidhannagar. Eyewitness reports indicate that he was caught off guard when the thread suddenly struck him, leading to a severe injury. Following the accident, he was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital where he is currently receiving treatment for his wounds. The incident has raised alarms about the persistent presence of China Manjha in the area, despite state government efforts to curb its use.

Authorities had previously taken steps to enhance safety on the Maa Flyover by installing fencing in an attempt to prevent such accidents. However, this unfortunate event underscores the effectiveness of these measures and highlights the ongoing challenge law enforcement faces in eradicating the use of China Manjha. Residents have expressed their concerns about the lack of enforcement and the need for more robust measures to protect citizens.

Police officials have reiterated their commitment to tackling the issue and are urging the public to report any instances of kite-flying with China Manjha. They emphasized that the safety of the community is a top priority and that collaboration between authorities and residents is essential to eliminate the use of this dangerous material.

As investigations into the incident continue, the local government is expected to review its current regulations and enforcement strategies to better protect citizens from the risks posed by China Manjha. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing dangers associated with kite-flying practices that disregard public safety.
