Authorities in Telangana and Madhya Pradesh have intensified actions against the banned Chinese manja, a glass-coated nylon kite thread harmful to humans and birds. In Hyderabad, two individuals were arrested with 191 bobbins seized, while Indore police registered 20 cases and arrested 25 people within 24 hours. The Telangana State Human Rights Commission has directed the Hyderabad Police Commissioner to submit a report on enforcement measures by February 26, following petitions highlighting injuries caused by the thread.
