Seminar on Chinese Strings

Keeping in view the sensitivity of the matter after Chinese kite strings claimed six lives in the National Capital, a seminar was organised on CT Public School campus on Monday. Teacher’s emphasis was laid on making the students vigilant against the use of the string. They urged the students and others to create awareness among the public and urge them, especially youngsters, to revert to traditional and indigenously prepared 'manjha dor' for flying kites. This manja is made of metallic/nylon yarn with an abrasive coat of crushed glass gummed on to it making it razor sharp and non-biodegradable. This frenzy leads to the discovery of killer Chinese manja.
