₹5,000 Reward for Reporting Illegal China Manja? MLA’s Strict Warning Shocks Citizens
In a strong step towards public safety, Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender has announced strict action against the sale and use of banned China manja. This sharp nylon thread, commonly used during kite-flying festivals, has been responsible for numerous injuries to both humans and birds. Due to its dangerous and life-threatening nature, Chinese manja has been legally prohibited, yet reports suggest its circulation continues through hidden shops and suppliers.
To put an end to this issue, MLA Nagender has taken a bold approach: a ₹5,000 reward will be offered to anyone who provides reliable information about shops or individuals selling China manja in the Khairatabad constituency. Along with the reward, authorities have promised complete confidentiality to protect those who come forward.
Why This Action Matters
China manja is notorious not just for minor injuries but also for severe harm:
- Deep cuts to the neck and hands
- Threat to two-wheeler riders during festival seasons
- Birds losing wings or dying after getting trapped
- Electric short circuits occur when the thread contacts the power lines

MLA Nagender’s Key Statements
During his public announcement, MLA Danam Nagender highlighted the seriousness of the situation:
- “China manja sellers will not be spared under any circumstance.”
- “Legal cases will be filed immediately, and strict police action will follow.”
- “Public safety comes before festival excitement.”
He also emphasized that the public’s cooperation is essential to eliminate this dangerous material from the market. Citizens are encouraged to stay alert, identify illegal sellers, and inform authorities without fear.
Legal Action & Consequences
Authorities have confirmed that the following actions will be taken:
- Filing criminal cases under the relevant sections
- Seizing manja stock from shops and warehouses
- Permanent cancellation of licenses for those involved
- Police surveillance in kite shops, markets, and supply points
How Citizens Can Report Safely
MLA Nagender assured that anyone who shares information will remain anonymous. People can report:
- Through local police stations
- To municipal authorities
- To the MLA office contact points
- Directly to trusted volunteers in the area
Once confirmed, the informer will receive ₹5,000 in cash, funded personally by the MLA.
Protecting Humans, Birds & Environment
Animal welfare organizations have welcomed this move. Year after year, hundreds of birds are injured during kite-flying season due to China manja. Environmental activists believe the ban implementation will:
- Reduce casualties
- Encourage the use of cotton thread (safe manja)
- Promote responsible festival celebrations
MLA Nagender concluded his statement by urging residents:
“Festivals are meant for happiness, not injuries. Let us protect lives and celebrate safely.”
He encouraged everyone to avoid buying China manja even if it is cheaper, reminding them that a small saving could cost a life.
This initiative has sparked public discussion, and many residents are appreciating the step. The combination of cash reward + strict legal action may finally help put an end to the dangerous China manja network in Khairatabad. With festival season approaching, timely action could save countless humans, animals, and birds.
