PETA demands ban on ‘manja’ ahead of I-Day
Animal rights organisation PETA has asked the National Green Tribunal to ban the use of ‘manja’ (kite string) ahead of Independence Day. 'Manja' can cause serious injuries, sometimes fatal, to birds, animals and also humans, stated PETA. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has also instructed all the states and UTs to address the 'manja' threat, it added.
