On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, actor Jackie Shroff urged people and sent out a message to save birds. The festival of kite flying is vastly celebrated in the country and specifically in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. People fly paper kites with the help of threads made of glass. However, these kite threads made of glass are harmful to little birds and can nearly kill them. Over the years there have been many cases reported where birds are stuck and/or suffer from severe cuts due to the threads used for flying kites.
