New Delhi: When the kite covered Delhi’s sky on Sunday, hundreds of bird injuries were reported across the capital, most of which occurred from the ‘sharp’ cutting caused by Manjha China which was prohibited.
Because the wings that are cut off or extreme blood loss, a number of bird deaths are also reported, officials said.
Although the glass-plated string was banned in 2017, it was still available on the Delhi market.
At Jain Bird Hospital in Chandni Chowk, more than 150 injured birds were brought on Sundays, who had suffered injuries from Manjha, while more than 100 such cases had arrived on Monday.
Dr Haravelar Singh Samra, a doctor at the hospital, said there seems to be no significant reduction in the use of Manjha this year and 15 deaths have been reported in the last 48 hours.
“Death can occur because of shock, or because of blood loss.
Some birds can never fly again.
We have received pigeons, crows and kites,” Samra said, adding that “more than 100 injured birds were taken to hospital at 13 August and 14.
“Rescue wildlife, bird hospital only for the Raptor, said the number of cases is expected to increase rapidly in the next few days.
The center received 24 raptor injured on independence day.
“The case of injuries that occurred on August 15 was generally not reported on the same day or the day after.
When people start finding injured birds, they take them to us.
We sometimes accept such cases even in the last week of August,” said Nadeem Shehzad, who handles the center.
Shehzad said the birds were injured, most of the kites and eagles, had arrived at the center of the first week of August itself.
“The flying kite started early and we saw many kites on independence this year Bandhan “.
An Indian map spokesman said that even though there was a prohibition, sales and distribution of Manjha continued in Delhi, with a call on injured birds because the glass-plated string was still accepted on their help number.
The Indian map has helped Delhi police in seizing hundreds of kilograms of Majha which were banned from Lal Kuan Bazaar recently.
