"chinese-nylon-manja"

Despite a ban, nylon glass-coated manja is being sold online, raising concerns among wildlife activists who urge Telangana police to act against e-commerce platforms, citing deaths and injuries to birds, animals and humans

Vilas from Vidyanagar in the town sustained the injury on his neck and suffered profuse bleeding when the thread cut his throat

Veterinary professionals emphasise that these injuries severely impede birds' ability to fly, often leading to a prolonged healing process and a high mortality rate among rescued birds.

The banned Chinese nylon manja is taking its toll on avian species with 30 birds that were trapped in manja dying in January alone
