Overview
- The Lahore district administration has opened a Basant Portal for centralised registration of kite and thread makers, with formal permits required before anyone may manufacture kite‑flying equipment.
- Officials require No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for all kite and thread producers to ensure only verified businesses operate inside the legal framework.
- The administration has issued strict safety rules that ban chemical‑coated strings, allow only pure cotton thread and traditional 'pinna' windings, and permit kites only in approved sizes.
- District and administrative field teams will conduct round‑the‑clock inspections of manufacturing sites to stop hazardous materials from entering the supply chain and to enforce compliance.
- The plan supports provincial dates for Basant Lahore 2027 and seeks to revive kite flying while reducing injuries, but it will reshape the local manufacturing sector by forcing unregistered smallmakers to either register or stop production.
