In a clarifying note, Kumar said, <em>&#8220;There is some rumour spread by some unauthorized person regarding banning of kite-flying on the festival of Sankranti. I want to make it very clear that there is no ban on flying kites. Sankranti is a festival of kites, so how can anybody think of banning it? There is only suggestion and regulation that one should be careful that it should not go into the premises of some religious structures or institution. It should not go to a place where it should offend somebody&#8217;s feeling. That is the spirit of the suggestion made by the police. So once again, I want to make it very clear that Sankranti is a festival of joy and fun in which youth fly kites. My suggestion to them is that one should be careful and when you are flying the kite on a rooftop, please take precaution that there is a railing and one should be alert of the surroundings&#8230;.&#8221;\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"in\">SRI.ANJANI KUMAR,IPS, CP HYD MESSAGE ON KITE FLYING <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6vFic9dFA6\">pic.twitter.com\/6vFic9dFA6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hyderabad City Police (@hydcitypolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hydcitypolice\/status\/1084800434374504449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Moreover, Hyderabad Police had also tweeted a set of advisory suggestions on January 12.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pongal2019?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Pongal2019<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Sankranthi2019?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Sankranthi2019<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yQd8XhL8eg\">pic.twitter.com\/yQd8XhL8eg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hyderabad City Police (@hydcitypolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hydcitypolice\/status\/1083971581762650112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>&#8216;Uproar&#8217; on s<\/strong><strong>ocial media <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The syndicated article spurred an uproar on social media about Hindu religious beliefs being targeted in India. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sanjeevsanyal\/status\/1084470321045012480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanjeev Sanyal<\/a> tweeted an article by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/india-news\/kite-flying-banned-during-sankranti-festival-in-hyderabad\/1441294\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Financial Express <\/em><\/a>suggesting that the Hindu religious belief are vanishing from the Indian culture.
