Chandigarh, 24th August, 2017: In pursuance of the order dated:
14.12.2016 issued by Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, Principal Bench, New
Delhi, in the matter of Khalid Ashraf & Anr. Vs. U.O.I. & Ors. (O.A.
No. 384 of 2016) and P.E.T.A., India Vs. U.O.I. & Ors. (O.A. no. 442 of
2016), it has been made to appear to me that a large number of people flying
the kites, use synthetic/nylon-glass coated thread popularly known as Pakka
thread/Dori and Chinese Maanjha/Dori. These Maanjhas/Doris, being made of
synthetic material are non-biodegradable and thus cause serious injuries to
human beings, birds and are equally disadvantageous & harmful to the
wildlife/environment. In some cases, it had also caused death of humans and
birds.
Therefore, Sh. Ajit Balaji
Joshi, I.A.S., District Magistrate, Chandigarh, is of the opinion that use of
above said synthetic/nylon-glass coated thread popularly known as Pakka
thread/Dori and Chinese Maanjha/Dori needs to be regulated in the larger public
interest and immediate necessary action is necessary to be taken to prevent
serious injury or death to human beings & birds along with harm to wildlife
& environment, due to above said Pakka thread/Dori and Chinese
Maanjha/Dori.
Therefore, the District
Magistrate, Chandigarh, in exercise of the power vested with him u/s 144 of Cr.
P.C., as a measure of emergency and to prevent serious injury or death to human
beings & birds and to prevent harm to wildlife & environment, hereby
orders that procuring, stocking, sale and use of synthetic/nylon-glass coated
thread popularly known as Pakka thread/Dori and Chinese Maanjha/Dori along with
other threads coated with glass and/or such other harmful substances for kite
flying, within the jurisdiction of U.T. of Chandigarh, for a period of 60 days.
