I pray that Basant is always celebrated safely. It\u2019s a good thing people flew kites again in Lahore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Basant, traditionally associated with the arrival of spring, has long been a defining cultural event in Lahore. <\/p>\n<p>Rooftops across the city fill with families and friends flying colourful kites, while neighbourhoods echo with music and celebration. In recent years, however, the festival has faced restrictions due to safety concerns, particularly linked to hazardous kite strings and rooftop accidents.<\/p>\n<p>Khan emphasised the importance of ensuring that public safety remains central to any celebration.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            setTimeout(function(){\n                var
