‘CHINESE’ MANJHA

Aug. 14, 2022

Every year, as Independence Day inches closer, Delhi’s streets become witness to deaths and injuries because of the ‘Chinese’ manjha.

About:

  • The Chinese manjha is a glass-coated synthetic string used to fly kites. It is made of monofilament fishing lines.
  • monofilament strings are deadly because they are very hard to break. They are made by melting and mixing polymers, and after the strings are formed, they are then coated with glass. Stretched tight, monofilament strings have the ability to injure humans and animals alike.
