JAMMU, Oct 27: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Sarkari Daftar Ka Ek Din’ written by Laxmikant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play opens in a Government office where all the employees are shown working in their own style.
As they have job security, no one bothers to exercise punctuality. Common vices like red-tapeism, nepotism, favouritism, corruption, absenteeism and sycophancy which are generally associated with such offices are prominently shown in the play in a very genuine manner.
The office has a peon who listens to none and no one can remove him from his permanent job and even the boss has no courage to say anything to him as he knows secrets of all.
The only person who gets respect from this peon is an official, relative of a Minister, who works fearlessly as being the relative of a Minister no one could harm him in any manner.
On top of all, Head of the Department, who was supposed to maintain integrity, himself shirks duties and remains absent from the office for personal engagements.
To the dismay of all, a vigilance officer conducts surprise raid and finds all absent from the office without any information and he orders suspension of all the absentees, but, the raid turns out to be a dream and the fate of working of a Government office continues to be the same.
Artists who performed in the play were Vandana Thakur, Kartik Kumar, Gourav Khajuria, Raghuvansh, Mehak Chib and Bhushan Kumar.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant; music by Kushal Bhat and the show was coordinated by Brijesh Avtar Sharma.
