The Bombay High Court is really unhappy with the Maharashtra government because it has not been able to stop people from using nylon manja. Nylon manja is a type of string used for flying kites. It is very dangerous. The court is saying this now because a lot of people are flying kites for the Makar Sankranti festival. When people fly kites it can cause problems for people walking on the road people riding two-wheelers and birds. The Bombay High Court is criticising the Maharashtra government for not enforcing the ban on nylon manja. The Maharashtra government should make sure that people do not use nylon manja, for flying kites.
The court is really worried about people using nylon manja even though it is banned. Every year when it’s festival time we hear about people getting badly hurt or even dying because of this sharp string. The judges think it is very sad that the people in charge do not do enough to stop these things from happening. The court says that the authorities are failing to do their job and they want to know why nylon manja is still a problem when the law is clear about it. The court calls this a failure to enforce the law and they are questioning why it keeps happening. Nylon manja is still causing trouble even though the law is, against it.
Nylon manja is bad news. This stuff is often coated with glass or some other rough material. It is a lot worse than the cotton string people used to use for kite flying. You can barely see nylon manja from away.. It can still cut you very badly.
People on bikes and motorcycles have gotten hurt badly by this string. Sometimes they even die from it. This happens when they ride into the string that someone has stretched across the road or a big open area.
Nylon manja is also very bad, for birds. A lot of birds get hurt during the time of year when people are flying kites. They get cut on the wings and throat. It is very sad.
The High Court said that just putting out notices or warnings is not enough. The High Court told the state government to take quick action to stop the supply of nylon manja. The High Court wants the state government to keep an eye on stores and websites where nylon manja is still being sold. The High Court also told the authorities to make people, in charge at the local level are doing their job to stop nylon manja.
The court also talked about how important it’s for people to know about the rules. Many people do not think the danger is that bad or they just ignore the rules. The judges told the government to make sure people know about the dangers of nylon manja before and, during Makar Sankranti. They want the government to tell people about the risks of using nylon manja and to use things instead of nylon manja. The court wants people to be aware of the risks of nylon manja.
The court told the government that keeping people safe is more important than having fun during festivals. People really like flying kites. The judges said that no party or celebration is worth someone getting hurt really badly or even dying. The judges said that if the government does not do something about it the state might have to deal with the court getting involved and making even tougher rules, in the future.
With Makar Sankranti just around the corner, the High Court’s stern remarks serve as a final warning to authorities. The coming days will test whether the government can translate court directives into real action on the ground, ensuring that celebrations remain joyful rather than tragic.
