Spring is here, kites in the air
Basant brings yellow kites on the sky as police chase ban violators
RAWALPINDI:
The kite enthusiasts in the garrison city celebrated Basant Night on Thursday. Crackdown of the police against the kite flying proved futile.
The ages-old kite festival heralding the arrival of spring is banned owning to several incidents of metallic and glass laced strings getting entangled around the necks of people.
The kite-flyers used white and yellow kites to fill the dark sky with colours. Intermittent aerial firing and fireworks continued in the areas too.
Earlier, Basant was celebrated in the cantonment areas last week, while Kite Flying Association (KFA) had announced to celebrate the second Basant on February 25 and 26 in Rawalpindi city despite the ban.

RAWALPINDI:
The Rawalpindi police have come up with a unique solution to curb kite flying and aerial firing in the city by deciding not to issue character certificates to those involved in such activities.
City Police Officer (CPO) Ahsan Younas said on Wednesday that police will not issue character certificates to suspects nominated in both offences during the Basant season as there is a ban in place, adding that they will be penalised.
