In the coming spring season, Pakistani kites could be seen dotting Indian skylines, as the Lahore High Court (LHC) has passed an order barring kite flying during ‘Basant’, one of the six Hindu seasons.
The Lahore High Court has dismissed a writ petition seeking directions to lift the ban on kite flying, observing that the court cannot permit the license to kill in the name of the Basant festival as it was a dangerous activity.
