Ludhiana police have installed iron wire shields on motorcycles to protect riders from dangerous Chinese kite strings, commonly known as 'manjha'. This initiative, coinciding with Lohri, also involves booking sellers of the banned string and educating the public, especially children, about its risks. Authorities are coordinating with local councils to remove hanging strings and have rescued an injured eagle entangled in the material. Kite shop owners have been warned against selling the hazardous string.
