Fear has once again gripped Puri’s Bada Danda as accidents caused by manja, the sharp glass-coated kite string, continue to put residents at risk. Panic erupted after a local biker narrowly escaped death when he lost control of his vehicle after becoming entangled in a manja string, which reportedly wrapped around his neck and caused him to fall. Two women passing nearby also narrowly avoided injury during the incident. Eyewitnesses identified the string as Chinese manja, noting that large quantities of these hazardous kite threads have been recovered despite repeated warnings.
Despite multiple advisories from Puri Police, incidents involving manja continue, leaving both residents and pilgrims on edge. Authorities recently conducted a special enforcement drive across the city, seizing 70 bundles of manja and issuing strict warnings to shopkeepers and individuals selling it illegally. However, reckless kite flying using banned strings persists.
Similar accidents have occurred elsewhere in Odisha, including Cuttack, where a young man was seriously injured after coming into contact with a manja string in the Khan Nagar traffic area, and Balasore, where a biker suffered a severe neck injury when struck by manja while crossing Tamulia Bridge.
