The district administration has fixed registration fees for kite and string manufacturers ahead of Basant celebrations in Lahore, following the Punjab government’s conditional approval to observe the festival.
Officials said clear rules and regulations have been issued for kite makers, string manufacturers and kite flying associations to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
According to the notification, the registration fee for kite and string manufacturers has been set at Rs1,000, while kite flying associations will be required to pay Rs5,000 for registration. Kite and string manufacturers must submit Form A, while kite flying associations are required to submit Form C as part of the registration process.
The administration said that kite string must be made only from cotton thread, and no more than nine strands of thread will be allowed in its preparation. The use of prohibited or hazardous materials remains strictly banned.
Officials said the measures are aimed at regulating Basant-related activities and preventing accidents, while allowing the festival to be celebrated under defined conditions.
