Aerial Rescue in Saharanpur: Stranded Eagle Saved After Two-Day Ordeal in Lethal Chinese Manjha

In a high-stakes rescue in Saharanpur, UP, an eagle was saved after being trapped in lethal Chinese manjha for two days. With its chicks nearby, the bird was liberated using a crane in a joint effort by the Forest Department and locals. The incident underscores the ongoing danger posed by illegal kite strings to wildlife and public safety.

 

A dramatic rescue operation in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has highlighted the persistent threat of prohibited kite strings after an eagle was successfully liberated from a life-threatening entanglement. The bird of prey had been suspended from a tree for nearly forty-eight hours, trapped in the razor-sharp coils of "Chinese manjha"—a synthetic, glass-coated string notorious for its durability and danger. Adding a poignant layer to the crisis, the eagle’s nestlings were located in a nearby tree, helpless as their parent struggled to break free just yards away.

The precarious situation came to light when local residents noticed the bird’s increasingly frantic and weakening movements. Recognizing the severity of the entanglement, they immediately alerted the Forest Department and local rescue specialists. Given the height of the tree and the complexity of the synthetic mesh, authorities deployed a crane to reach the raptor. In a meticulously executed operation, rescue teams managed to safely descend the bird to the ground, where the restrictive coils were carefully severed.

While the eagle is currently under observation and reported to be in stable condition, the incident has reignited a fierce debate over the continued use of illegal kite strings. Despite official bans and administrative crackdowns, the prevalence of this non-biodegradable, metallic-coated twine remains a significant hazard to urban wildlife and public safety alike. This successful intervention serves as a grim reminder of the ecological toll of such materials, even as it underscores the vital role of community vigilance and rapid administrative response in preventing a localized environmental tragedy.
