Celebrate Makar Sankranti Kite Flying Festival in a Safe way

Every January in India, we sacrifice thousands of its birds in the name of entertainment for the excitement of kite-flying. The festival, which is popularly known as "Makar Sankranti". Injuries to birds are mainly caused by glass-coated threads that cut and entangle to cause fractures, wing cuts and nerve injuries, and Makar Sankranti is becoming worse because people are continuing use deadly manja, totally ignoring the harm and pain they cause to birds. Not only is glass-coated manja hazardous for birds, it is also responsible for numerous human injuries and deaths every year, including the deaths of passers-by travelling on open conveyances such as bicycles, motorcycles or scooters. People can help innocent birds by doing the following:


Please think before flying a kite that your fun could severely injure or kill an animal.

Makar Sankranti is about celebrating festival happily with family - it is not about flying kites and endangering the lives of thousands of birds and even human beings.

Happy Sankranti to you and your family.
