    Basant is an annual kite flying festival in Pakistan where people would fly kites of different sizes from their rooftops, filling the sky with color. Kite fighting was a key part of the celebration where people would try to cut each other's kites down with sharp metal or chemical-coated strings, but this led to injuries and deaths of children and bike riders. The metal strings also damaged power lines, causing losses to the national power company. As a result, kite flying and Basant celebrations were banned in Pakistan due to safety concerns.

    BASANT

    The annual festival of kite flying is called “Basant”. On Basant day all and sundry go up their
    house-roofs to fly kites. The whole sky is overcast with the colourful kites of different sizes.
    Loud music is also enjoyed on roofs. Kite-looters are seen busy in catching stray kites on roads
    at the risk of their lives. Holding feats is a necessary part of this festival. During the previous
    years, the use of metal string and chemicals to harder the thread made this entertainment a
    dangerous game. The sharp thread cut the throats of many innocent children and bike ridders. On
    the other hand metal string caused a great loss to Wapda. Because of these factors kite-flying and
    Basant have been banned in Pakistan.
