Tragedy struck Maharashtra on Tuesday with the loss of two lives due to nylon kite strings. The incidents happened in Nashik and Akola cities.
The first victim, Sonu Dhotre, was riding a motorcycle on the Pathardi Phata-Deolali Camp road in Nashik when a sharp nylon kite string cut his neck. He was quickly taken to the civil hospital but unfortunately died from severe bleeding. Sonu worked as a contract worker in Gujarat.
In Akola, the second victim, 40-year-old Kiran Sonone, was also riding a two-wheeler when he got a deep cut on his neck from a kite string on a flyover. He was rushed to the district general hospital but later died from his injuries.
The Mumbai Police have been taking action against the use of banned nylon kite strings. Over the last four days, they seized dangerous materials worth Rs 35,350 and arrested 19 people for breaking the law.
