As India prepares to celebrate its Independence Day, the national capital Delhi is seeing a rise in the use of Chinese manjha, a dangerous kite-flying string. The manjha, which is made of sharp and thin metal or glass-coated strings, poses a significant threat to humans and animals alike. In recent days, 'dhaga 101' and '555' have emerged as new code words for the Chinese manjha. The use of these code words suggests that the sale and use of Chinese manjha are being carried out in a clandestine manner.
