This is due to use of kite flying thread made up of Nylon, Plastic and other Synthetic material commonly known as Chinese Maanjha which has led to a large number of accidents taking place in and around Delhi. A large number of people are getting injured, and not only people, even animals and birds are also becoming victims of Chinese Maanjha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Counsel for State informed Court regarding a notification dated 10-01-2017 issued by GNCTD which imposes complete ban on use of Chinese Maanjha and other similar material and a Monitoring Committee has also been constituted to look into the matter. The state has ensured strict compliance of the notification before Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further, it was also brought to the attention of the Court that an order dated 10-08-2020 has been passed by National Green Tribunal prohibiting manufacture, sale, storage, purchase and use of thread made of Nylon, synthetic material and\/or coated with synthetic substance which is non-biodegradable for kite flying, and the said order of the NGT has been circulated to all authorities and strict compliance of the same is being ensured.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">State also submitted that an order dated 18-07-2020 issued by ACP, Sub-Division &#8212; Mehrauli in exercise of powers under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519376\">144<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\">Criminal Procedure Code<\/a> has been passed in respect of imposing of ban on use of Chinese Maanjha<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court noted that no further orders were required to be passed and further directed the strict compliance of the order passed by the NGT as well as the earlier order passed by the Government on the subject.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Sanser Pal Singh v.
