Kite flying ban
In the wake of the upcoming Durand Cup which will feature aerial displays, paragliding demonstrations and a helicopter show, East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner has appealed the residents of Polo, Golf Links, Pynthorbah and Pynthorumkhrah areas to refrain from engaging in activities like kite flying to ensure safety of both the participants in these aerial events and the general public. The DC warned that kite flying could pose a significant hazard, potentially interfering with the flight paths of paragliders and helicopters leading to dangerous and unforeseen circumstances.
