Sangrur: A 15-year-old schoolboy died on the spot of a head injury he sustained from a fall from the scooter when he got entangled in a China-made string. The incident happened on Sunday, the day Tanvir Singh, a class IX student of General Gurnam Singh School, turned 15.
Tanvir was going to buy a birthday cake for himself, when he got entangled in a string near the Nankiana roundabout and lost balance. His scooter hit an electric pole and he died on the spot. He was decalred brought dead by doctors at the hospital, the victim's neighbours said.
His father Mohinder Singh is an SDO in BSNL and posted in Srinagar. His colleague SDO Alok Jindal reached the hospital soon after hearing about the incident, where he was told about the tragic incident.
DC Kumar Rahul said, "The administration has already banned Chinese strings and will look into the incident to take stern action against those found selling them". DSP Swaran Singh said police were looking into the incident.
China doesn't need to point any nukes at India, all it has to do is ship more boxes of "Chinese string" and apparently Indians will haplessly strangle themselves at any opportunity. They are apparently not used to having string that doesn't break, unlike their native "Indian string". A word about "Indian string": Indian string is not designed to tie things together, it is designed to give you the ILLUSION that they are tied together. They will (and are expected to) break at the first sign of resistance. That is why there was such outrage and shock that Chinese string did not break during this tragedy. The people were simply not used to unbreakable string. Forget the fact that the boy wasn't supposed to be riding the motorcycle or that he wasn't wearing a helmet or that Indian road rules are atrocious or that the pole was probably the ultimate cause of the boy's death. No, brothers. It was that damned, unbreakable Chinese string. That was the REAL problem. Jai Hind!
