Sangrur: A 15-year-old schoolboy died on the spot of a head injury he sustained from a fall from the scooter when he got entangled in a China-made string. The incident happened on Sunday, the day Tanvir Singh, a class IX student of General Gurnam Singh School, turned 15.

Tanvir was going to buy a birthday cake for himself, when he got entangled in a string near the Nankiana roundabout and lost balance. His scooter hit an electric pole and he died on the spot. He was decalred brought dead by doctors at the hospital, the victim's neighbours said.

His father Mohinder Singh is an SDO in BSNL and posted in Srinagar. His colleague SDO Alok Jindal reached the hospital soon after hearing about the incident, where he was told about the tragic incident.

DC Kumar Rahul said, "The administration has already banned Chinese strings and will look into the incident to take stern action against those found selling them". DSP Swaran Singh said police were looking into the incident.

After reading this article I suddenly understand why so many brainless resent China

I have to say it's a splendid propaganda against China,at the same time I admire the writer due to his capacity to get a tragedy to become a comedy.

 

[iajj]

haha, no kidding? this is an actual times of india article? really? seriously? hahaha, oh well, too bad we made strings of such strength, but at least we didn't make the scooter and didn't erect the electric pole. normally i would feel sad for the loss of such a young life, but the fantastic yellow journalism of the curry-colored times of india somehow made everything alright

Its the kite strings. The chinese ones are coated with powdered glass, its quite dangerous. Basant festival is approaching and these strings are indeed hazardous.

Pakistan banned the whole festival, cause handful of people died every year due to these kite strings.

Blame China is the only solution to drift away the attention from their own problems, Japan/Korea/Vietnam/Philippines all took that approach.

What the hell these people think they are? We are behaving nice with people, thus we should become their scapegoat to cover their own internal failures?

Next time only the violence can be dealt with these insatiable nations. They want to be treated with the violence, not with the politeness.

I have been fed up with those "blame China" craps, if you really think China is evil and should be destroyed, then just come and let's see how much you are willing to put on the stake.

It's not our culture that gets kids to play this dangerous game, it's yours.

What did you think was going to happen?

So the best way is to ban whole India to fly kites or only allow Indians to fly kites by India-made strings.Oh,what a funny Indian!I can't help again

Next time, Indians should invent a game where they throw knives at each other.

And if anyone gets hurt, then they should blame the country in which the knife was manufactured, i.e. China.

That is how the Indian logic works.

Indians have crashed 1000 aircrafts, and they could start to blame the origin of nation of those aircrafts one by one.

its not china's mistake that they sell glass coated kite strings (locally called manja) they are even made in India but they are of cotton but chinese ones are synthetic plastic strings which are very tough and almost impossible to cut by hand, where there is ademand there is a supply so they dint do it on purpose to harm Indians. and to the chinese and other non Indian posters laughing at the news its just to wake local authorities to do something about it , the news is not for international viewers its only for local consumption but the op seems to be so obsessed with India that he registered on Indian news paper to post an article from it.

RIP to the innocent.

I hope someone laughs on your grave too.

The boy was not flying the kite, he was just going to the shops minding his own business. No one is blaming China here. Chinese made strings were being blamed.
