A Rawalpindi police warden was injured when a kite string struck him on the Khawaja Corporation flyover as he was returning from duty. Warden Muhammad Israr suffered a cut to his nose after the line snapped across his face, resulting in a kite string injury.
Witnesses and colleagues said the sharp line caused immediate bleeding, but protective gear played a key role in reducing harm. The officer’s helmet and collar absorbed much of the impact, preventing more serious injuries despite the severity of the cut.
The incident highlights the danger that loose or airborne kite strings can pose to road users and on-duty personnel in urban areas. Authorities and commuters are urged to remain alert on busy flyovers to avoid similar kite string injury incidents.
