Volunteers of the Animal Warriors Conservation Society (AWCS), known for rescuing animals and birds across the State, found 17 different migrant birds trapped in Chinese manja at various places since January 1 when the season of Sankranthi kite-flying started
The victim Shivraj, who works at Langer Houz traffic police station, was going on a bike on the Tilak Nagar- Narayanguda flyover road when the Chinese manja thread got entangled around his neck
Chinese manja, coated with crushed glass and dangerously sharp, is known to cut through the skin of birds, animals, and humans, causing fatal injuries. Every year, thousands of birds suffer from injuries, some fatal, due to entanglement in these hazardous strings
