The Dhaka Metro Rail authorities have started conducting mobile court drives against kite flying in the metro rail area following several disruptions to metro rail services due to kites getting entangled in the overhead wires.
On Wednesday and Thursday, a total of eight people were detained from Dhaka’s Mirpur-10 to Shewrapara areas, adjacent to the metro rail line, reports UNB.
In addition, 7,000 kites were seized. A case was filed against two of the eight detained at Kafrul Police Station under the Companies Act. The six others were handed over to their guardians on bond as they were underage.
Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) Managing Director MAN Siddique confirmed the matter at a press briefing at the Probashi Kalyan Bhaban on Thursday.
