MNS alleges of continuance of nylon sale Iqbal Rizvi, District Head of MNS Public Welfare Cell has alleged that despite the action by NMC, people are selling nylon manza openly. He told ‘The Hitavada’, “This is very dangerous trend, and need to be curbed. This will not only make damage to birds but human beings also. We have experienced several incidences in the past where humans got entangled in manza and sustained severe injuries. The people who sell nylon manza and those who buy should take this hazard into account.”
