Only registered manufacturers may manufacture kite related items with strict safety standards.
According to the officials, registration should be done via the e-Biz portal of the Punjab Government and the rules of Kite Flying have to be observed. The relocation is to make the preparations of the festival smoother since it is to take place in Lahore between the dates of February 6, 7 and 8.
