WEB DESK: PML-N Chief Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Monday visited the family of a young man, Asif, who died last week after his throat was slashed by a kite twine.
Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz Chief Nawaz Sharif urged for coordinated actions to curb the menace. “We all should play a collective role to stop kite flying with sharp string,” he said and added that the horrific video of Asif breathing his last cannot be watched.
CM Maryam Nawaz said that to fully eradicate the ‘evil’ of kite flying with razor-sharp string, the Punjab government has issued directives for taking strong action against the production, distribution, and acquisition of metallic and chemically coated thread.
Before the visit, Nawaz Sharif and the chief minister also chaired a meeting regarding the law and order situation in Faisalabad. PML-N leaders, MPAs, and law enforcement representatives attended a high-level meeting.
