Telangana police initiated a statewide crackdown on the illegal sale and use of Chinese manja, a thread used in kite flying. The banned product poses a severe threat to humans, animals, and birds due to its sharp and hazardous nature. Several vendors were penalized, and a significant quantity of the material was confiscated.
The police urged the public to refrain from using Chinese manja and opt for safer alternatives. Awareness campaigns were also launched to educate people about its dangers.
