JAMMU, Nov 3: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Ghotala’ written and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play started with aggression of frustrated youth who is breathing in the contaminated air of corruption, scandals and dishonesty and they hold the common people responsible for this corruption and say that corruption is spread by anarchist elements who get the protection of those in power.
They feel that in this democracy, general public is completely responsible for the corrupt system.
There are no strict rules to stop corruption. The courage of corrupt people is increasing day by day and so is the number of scams.
In another scene, it was shown that Tatkal tickets are not available to common passengers for train travel. But due to collusion with the officials, middlemen indulge in black marketing and get huge profits by purchasing tickets and selling them at higher prices.
In another case, a leader is luring the general public by distributing gifts during elections. The officer involved in all this gets his son admitted in college with the money he gets through bribery. But his son, to teach his father a lesson, steals in his own house. A Police officer does not file a theft report without a bribe. Thus, he realizes the fate of a person having no money to pay as bribe. Upon realizing this, the father takes a pledge that he will neither take nor give bribe in future. And the play ends with this message that they would say no to corruption.
Actors who performed in the play were Shobha Sharma, Aryan Sharma, Krishay Bhatia, Divya, Devyani Rajput, Simranjeet Singh and Vikramjeet Singh. The play was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
