Dances, music, paintings at kids’
festival SAS Nagar, November 7 In the first half of the day children got busy in activities like drawing and painting, craft, yoga, judo, music and the evening was devoted to dance presentation by different states. Children from states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam gave impressive performances wearing costumes of their respective states. Students from Abhinav Bal Vikas School in Nasik presented Gondhali dance, a popular dance of Maharashtra. Ms Manisha Jagtap, a teacher from the school, said the dance was performed with an aim to please a goddess. The participants sing a song “Jejuri chya khanderaya, Jagarala ya ho” while dancing. Students from Maharashtra also presented a tribal folk dance ‘Thakkar Nritya’. This dance is normally performed in the evening around a bonfire by people who are out the whole day in the fields doing labour. In the evening they relaxed themselves by dancing and singing ‘Ami thakar thakar ya, Ranachi pakhar eh’. Dressed in colourful costumes children from Assam presented Bihu Husori dance and sang ‘Morree morree nason ni, Morum morum lagi se’. Children from Tamil Nadu presented Kargam dance in which they had to carry holy items, even on the head, which had to be balanced as they were not tied to anything. This dance again is a prayer. Students from Bikaner in Rajasthan presented an item ‘Gandhi mukat pradarshan’. Dr S.N. Subha Rao, Director of the National Youth Project, said that 316 boys and 247 girls along with 128 escorts had come for the festival. The same number of boys and girls from local schools were also participating in the festival as they were playing host to students from other states. He said there were so many barriers in the country like linguistic, religious, political, etc which were creating problems for the nation. He said the aim of the festival was to “make future India happy by breaking all barriers”. This could be done by moulding children at an impressionable age.
CM flayed Dr S.N. Subha Rao, Director, National Youth Project, today expressed disappointment over the failure of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to inaugurate the festival here in which children from 17 states were participating. Capt Amarinder Singh had expressed regrets that he was busy and sent his best wishes. “What a noble opportunity he had to welcome children from other states to his home”, he said. Dr Rao also regretted that no help had been provided either by the state government or the Ropar administration to make the festival a success. |

Stay on Sarpanch’s suspension questioned Chandigarh, November 7 Mr Karam Singh alleged that the Home Secretary had heard the case on November 5 and adjourned it to the next date of hearing on December 3. Such a long date will render the suspension irrelevant as elections to the panchayats are due in December. Besides, the Home Secretary exceeded his powers as he is not empowered to hear such cases. Only the UT Administrator can decide on the appeal against suspension. Mr Karam Singh said the stay should be vacated. The Sarpanch was suspended following allegations of having given a wrong certificate.
