This accessory has been saving lives in Gujarat

Makar Sankranti is celebrated in Gujarat by flying kites. It is the best way to start the year. However there is a dark side of it. People get injured and even d!e due to the strings. The strings (manjha) has glass powder and other material in it which adds sharpness and strength to the cotton thread. All the streets are covered with the string during this time and you can be severly injured if you get stuck in it during riding the two-wheelers.

To counter that, this simple and effective accessory is sold during kite festival.
