Patiala, April 7

The Natraj Arts Theatre, Patiala, in association with the Punjab Sangeet Natak Akademi, Chandigarh, staged street plays with an aim to create awareness among the people to fight against social evils. Directed by Gopal Sharma, the street plays created quite a stir among the audience and were highly appreciated by the spectators.

The inaugural play was held at Government Girls Senior Secondary Smart School, New Power House Colony, Patiala, as part of the five-day Nukkar Natak Mela campaign. Sudhro Yaro and Girgit Natak were successfully staged. On the occasion, school administrators and the Gyan Jyoti Society specially honored all actors of the play.

Gopal Sharma, director and programme director, Natraj Arts Theatre, said the campaign would continue until April 11.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
