Kite flying has been banned in Pakistan's Punjab province. According to Pakistani media, the Punjab Legislative Assembly has passed a bill in this regard. Anyone caught flying a kite can be imprisoned for 3 to 5 years or fined up to 2 million Pakistani rupees or both. Failure to pay the fine can also lead to an additional one-year imprisonment.
The bill also announces strict punishment for those who make and sell kites. They can be imprisoned for 5 to 7 years or fined up to 5 million rupees or both. This law has made a separate provision for juveniles. Juveniles will be fined 50,000 rupees for the first violation of the law and 1 lakh rupees for the second violation.
A third offense can be punished under the Juvenile Justice System Act. The bill states that the dangerous winds caused by kite flying have claimed the lives of many motorcyclists across Punjab, due to which it is being completely banned.
