Basant Kite Festival in Pakistan
In North India, and in the Punjab province of Pakistan, Basant is considered to be a seasonal festival and is celebrated as a spring festival of kites. The festival marks the commencement of the spring season. In the Punjab region (including the Punjab province of Pakistan), Basant Panchami has been a long-established tradition of flying kites and holding fairs. This includes the Pothohar Plateau where Basant is celebrated in Rawalpindi, Pakistan with the flying of kites. Despite the ban on flying kites, kite enthusiasts still continue to celebrate the festival. According to The Express Tribune "despite a ban, kites of all sorts, spindles, twines are available freely in the old city area" of Rawalpindi in 2020. People also light fireworks and play loud music.
Ban
While the date of Basant Panchami is set by a traditional Hindu calendar, the date of the Basant kite festival in Lahore, Pakistan until 2007 was determined by the authorities, always on a Sunday and usually at the end of February or the beginning of March. In 2007, the festival was banned, primarily because of an increasing number of deaths and serious injuries.[16] These had various causes related to the festival, including:
Bullets and tracer bullets were fired during celebratory gunfire.
Dangerous types of kite strings, such as metal wire, or strings coated in ground glass or metal filings.
Electrocutions caused by flying metal wire kites near power lines.
Electrocutions are caused by people touching power lines while trying to retrieve kites.
Falls from rooftops related to flying or trying to retrieve kites.
Another reason cited for the ban was the cost to the electricity power transmission system related to
Short circuits from metal kite wires touching power lines.
Costs incurred from switching off the power grid to prevent short circuits.
It has been widely reported in Pakistan since 2017 that the ban is to be lifted, however, as of 2019, this has not happened.
