A seven-year-old boy suffered critical injuries after a kite string slit his throat in Lahore on Sunday. The boy, identified as Abu Bakar, was travelling on a motorcycle with his father when a kite string slit his throat near the Wahadat Colony area of Lahore. The boy was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for medical treatment where his condition is out of danger now, said rescue officials. Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has taken notice of the incident and sought a report from administration. Earlier in October, a young man in October died after his throat was slit by a glass-coated kite string within the limits of Lahore’s Sanda police station on Sunday. According to police, 24-year-old Usman Khalid was on his way on a bike when a kite string fell on him, slitting his throat. He died on the spot. Upon being informed of the incident, the local police reached the spot and shifted the body to a nearby hospital for an autopsy. It is worth mentioning here that Kite flying has been banned in Punjab for several years owing to the casualties its string causes.
