RAWALPINDI - The city police badly failed in imposing government ban on kite flying, using metal and chemical twines and use of weapons as people were free to ignore the ban in all the areas of Rawalpindi and its suburbs. As a result, a youth died after falling from the rooftop while flying kite; another went into coma; a boy also sustained bullet injury in the head; a man and women’s neck were slashed by stray twine at IJP Road and more then 40 were also brought in government-run hospitals with severe multiple injuries on Friday.According to details, the citizens kept flying kites on the rooftops and in the open area the whole day with use of lethal weapons resorting aerial firing.
