Now, this has got another dimension to it. To make the strings stronger, then people, especially in Pakistan and in India, they will coat the string with glass-coated strings or metal strings. Sometimes when these cut strings, when they go, fly across the roads,
They will catch the unsuspecting motorcyclists, especially people going on the motorcyclists because they're going at a speed and then the strings come and go around the neck and then cause injury, sometimes even death.
