People try different games and sports for entertainment and enjoy the moments. Some like soccer, some baseball but they do have some entertainment or recreation source. Some sports and games are dangerous for players, some for players an spectators both. But here’s a source of entertainment that is dangerous for the people who have nothing to do with it.Kite flying is very popular in many countries. People fly kites on beaches, in grounds and other places. But in some countries where there are not many places like a beach, people enjoy on their roofs and fly kites. For instance India and Pakistan.
But for the past few years kite flying has become a KILLER especially in Pakistan. What happens is that people fly kites and try to cut the thread or string of the other kite fliers by moving their own string over the opponent’s string. To make their strings more and more sharp, the use of chemicals and glass on the thread has become very common. This causes the thread to become more strong and sharp and hence increases the chances of not being cut on the other hand it can cut the opponent’s string easily. In this fight, one of the kite gets cut from the thread(sometimes both) and when this free falling kite goes down and passes over the flowing traffic on the roads, people on bikes get injured and killed by the sharp thread hanging under the kite. The accidents increased in number with the passage of time and the government of Pakistan had to ban this sport permanently. There are people who want this ban to be lifted however at the same time there’s a huge amount of people who condemn it and this amount is too large to be neglected. People protested against it and strongly condemned it.
I think nobody will approve this sport until there are some safety measures and some limits. We can’t allow to kill innocent people just for the sake of enjoyment.
