Chinese lanterns banned in Mumbai from October 16

Mumbai Police Police

Flying lanterns are commonly known as Chinese lanterns.

According to a police official, given the circumstances in the regions under Mumbai Police authority, using sky lanterns could endanger human life and public safety. The ruling stated that restrictions must be placed on the use, sale and storage of flying lanterns in the city to stop the actions of anti-social elements.

Any person contravening this order shall be punishable under section 188 (Disobeying the order of public servant) of the Indian Penal Code, the official added.
