MPA for ban on Basant

Published February 4, 2003

LAHORE, Feb 3: PML-Q MPA Samina Naveed urged the government to frame laws at the earliest for banning Basant celebrations.

Questioning utility of millions of rupees being spent on three days Jash-i-Baharan festivities in the city, she, on a point of order, drew the attention of the government towards deaths and power failures being caused by kite-flying.

She feared that the three-day (Feb 7-9) gala would cause more trouble to citizens.
