Chandigarh, November 4
It was a humble gathering of people who did not disown their yet-to-be born daughters. They, in fact, celebrated the birth of girls as a gift of God. Yesterday, they graced a special event that marked the release of a Punjabi film ‘Dheeyan Maaro Na’ dedicated to Punjab’s daughters. The film seeks to denounce female foeticide.

Dr Gurmail Chahal, maker, writer and creator of the concept, works in Nawashahr these days.

For society at large, the film’s subject assumes greater significance in the aftermath of the Patran tragedy. For Chahal, it has always been significant. “I was eager to create awareness material for people in the villages where the problem needs to be tackled on a war footing. The film is in Punjabi and will easily express itself to rural masses. I have prepared 1000 copies to begin with and will distribute them free of cost,” says Chahal.
