6 ways to keep safe against the kite flying manja threads

Subhadrika Sen

Wear thick gloves on your hands before handling manja because it is a thread made with glass or metal pieces.

Do not wrap the manja thread around your fingers or hand.

Try and fly kites in open ground away from a crowd.

Pick a time to fly kites when there are no or less birds in the air. For dire cases always keep animal rescue emergency numbers in hand.

If you experience a manja cut- minor or major- immediately reach out for first aid.

Always pick up lose ends of the thread so that no untowards accidents happen.
