The Punjab Regulation of Kite Flying Act 2026 has been challenged in the Lahore High Court, questioning the legality of allowing kite flying under the new law. In the petition, it was argued that the Punjab Regulation of Kite Flying Act 2026 is unconstitutional and violates fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution. The petitioner contended that the government had earlier imposed strict bans and severe punishments on kite flying due to the dangers it poses to public safety. Allowing kite flying again, the petition argued, is a hazardous step that could put citizens’ lives at risk, particularly due to the use of metallic and sharp kite strings. The petitioner also urged the court to declare the Punjab Regulation of Kite Flying Act 2026 null and void.
