The Madhya Pradesh High Court's Indore bench has ordered strict enforcement of the ban on Chinese manja, a hazardous kite string. The court ruled that guardians can be held legally responsible if minors are found using the banned string, emphasizing accountability beyond sellers and users. The state government was directed to conduct widespread public awareness campaigns about potential prosecution under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing death by negligence. The administration assured compliance and circulation of orders to neighboring districts.
