Social organisations face opposition
Mandi Ahmedgarh, October 12 “While we are doing our best to share responsibility of the administration in providing basic amenities and free facilities during fairs and social gatherings, people with vested interests have always tried to oppose our initiative,” said a social activist. Besides forcing organisers to refuse permission for organising camps, owners and managers of eateries and snack vends have also been trying to harm and damage paraphernalia used in these free camps, alleged a social worker. Social activists and leaders of the area,however, said that they would not give up on serving the public and instead would extend full support and protection to volunteers serving people selflessly. Lower turnout and fall in profitability were recognised as the major factors behind hostile attitude of the vendors towards organisers of chabeel, langars and medical camps. Bimal Kumar Sharma, chairman of a religious organisation, alleged that some miscreants had even threatened him of dire consequences for organising a chabeel during the recently held Mela Chhapar. Organisers of free medical camps during the fair also complained of similar treatment. “Practitioners of the localities surrounding such congregations try their best to stop these camps,” said a doctor.

Dance drama highlights women’s plight
Ludhiana, October 12 The show described that according to Indian mythology woman was a personification of power to begin with in the form of Durga, but has now been reduced to feeble, weak victim of society ruled by men and paternalistic system. Various problems including child marriage, dowry, rape, female foeticide, discrimination were shown. In the beginning, Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh created Durga, the feminine power goddess to put an end to demons. It was depicted through performance of Tandav and Bharat Natyam and Veer Ras. After the creation, goddess Durga became the 'Sutradhar' of the performance as different facets of women's lives were showcased during the performance. It was depicted through performance of Kathak that the woman is married as a child to a person who is least interested in talking to her. Purva Puri, who performed the role of Durga, said we depicted that parents should not treat their daughters as 'paraya dhan' after marriage, and should not say that 'sasural' is their home. After all the mistreatment, the woman in the performance commits suicide. In another phase of the drama, a poor father marries off his daughter to a rich elderly man for the sake of money. It was depicted through Kathak, that after the marriage, a woman is put in bounds of home. If married in a rich family, she is told not to pursue a career. If she is allowed, she is allowed to choose only work that suits her home and husband, not allowing her to pursue her dreams. It was shown by a visual metaphor, as the woman lets the ‘ghunghroos' depicting her wishes and dreams drown. Woman is shown to be killed for dowry, and unborn girl child are killed in the womb. A woman is raped, but the family members don't accompany her to court, fearing insult. When she chooses to, acid is thrown on her face. At the end, seeing the plight of the women, Chandi rises, goddess Durga rises and tells that woman is power, and it would put an end to all the crime against her once she decides to. In the end of the performance, through an aerial contemporary dance performance, a woman depicted the society and taken in the 'doli' depicting love and respect by men for women.
