Pertinently play script awards for the year 2015 could not be considered in respect of languages like Pahari and Gojri as required number of scripts were not received in these languages.
“In these languages, we had received only one script each though a minimum of two scripts are required for consideration of award,” Dr. Hajini disclosed, adding hopefully script writers of these important regional languages will also come forward in a big manner in future.
It may be mentioned here that in languages like English, Punjabi, Ladakhi, Balti, and Dardi JKAACL did not receive any script for the competition.
