LAHORE, Pakistan - Authorities on Thursday lifted a ban on kite-flying in a Pakistan province after the sport was forbidden last year following a series of deaths caused by reinforced kite strings, an official said.
The ban was lifted about a month ahead of Basant, an annual festival that heralds spring and is marked by flying colorful kites in the eastern province of Punjab and its capital, Lahore.
This year's festival will be celebrated on Feb. 25, said Salman Ghani, chairman of Punjab's planning and development department.
During Basant last year, seven people were fatally slashed by glass-coated or metal-reinforced kite strings, prompting authorities to ban kite-flying. They arrested hundreds who defied the new regulation.
Among last year's fatalities was a 4-year-old boy whose throat was slit by a string coated with glass as he rode on a motorcycle with his father.
Ghani said that glass-coated or metal strings will be banned, and that authorities will issue licenses for selling kites and strings during this year's festival.
The ban will be re-imposed after the festival's final day celebrations, he said.
Kites larger than 2 feet by 2 feet will not be allowed to prevent the use of heavy strings, Ghani said.
Offenders will face up to four years in jail, or a fine of 100,000 rupees ($1,800), he said.

So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip, and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left.
He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

Number Four Idiot of 2006:
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car.
He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40.
Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.
He immediately mailed in his $40.
Wise guy........ but you still get a sign.
