Police intensify crackdown on nylon manja production in Pune

Pune police are intensifying efforts to shut down facilities producing nylon manja, a banned kite string. They are shifting focus from small retail shops to larger production sites and storage areas across the city. Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar directed officers to conduct raids on these facilities. The aim is to disrupt the production and distribution of nylon manja, which has caused serious injuries and fatalities. Nylon manja has raised safety concerns due to its dangers to both people and wildlife. The police plan to target production sites within and outside Maharashtra to eliminate its availability.
