Govt brings nukkad nataks into play

Muktsar: Even as the state government’s publicity vans are screening ‘Char Sahibzade’ in villages, nukkad nataks are being staged in the rural areas to highlight the government schemes for various sections of society. Teams of professionals have been hired to stage a 20-minute play, ‘Eh Mera Punjab Beliyo’. It focuses on the Atta-Dal scheme, Bhagat Puran Singh Sehat Bima Yojana, tubewell connections and free electricity to farmers, the opening of meritorious schools and free bicycles under the Mai Bhago Vidya Scheme. ‘Dhadis’ have been hired to sing praises of the state’s history and the Sikh religion.
