LAHORE (92 News) – The Punjab government has decided to keep the kite-flying ban intact on Basant this year.

The decision was made during a meeting between Punjab Law Minister Raja Basharat and Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Wednesday.

Sources said that a report was prepared with regard to preparations of Basant in Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi and Sahiwal. Some people wanted to celebrate Basant in the second week of February.
