More than a decade ago, Basant festival had been celebrated in Pakistan to mark the arrival of the spring season. People used to fly kites besides holding BBQ parties to enjoy the festival.
However, a ban was imposed on kite flying across the country after several deaths were reported due to kite’s glass-coated strings.
