Pakistan Post restricts kite and string deliveries in Punjab
In one minute
Pakistan Post has told its network not to transport or deliver kites and prohibited strings in Punjab ahead of the next Basant season.
Key takeaways
Pakistan Post has told its network not to transport or deliver kites and prohibited strings in Punjab ahead of the next Basant season.
What happened
A Pakistan Post directive reported by Dawn bars the transport and delivery of kites and prohibited strings in Punjab. The instruction is a postal handling measure; it should not be read as a new nationwide law or a ban on all festivities.
Why it matters
Hazardous kite strings have long been a public-safety concern. A delivery restriction may limit one distribution route, but its effect depends on enforcement and other sellers and carriers.
What to watch
Postal implementation and any separate provincial safety rules before Basant 2027 will clarify the practical scope.
