Pakistan’s Supreme Court put a ban on selling, making and flying kites, saying it was becoming increasingly deadly. Lahore is a site of an annual kite-flying festival in which thousands of people fly kites. The sport sometimes becomes deadly, with people falling from roofs, or are injured by metal-lined kite strings. Violations of the Supreme Court ban can be punished up to 6 months in prison. The ban will put more then 100,000 people jobless and a lawyer denied the festival had anything to do with Hinduism. Source:
