The most notewor- thy feature of the presentations was the use of language and the local idioms. The productions were devised by Balwant Thakur in such an imaginative manner that audience was identifying with each situation and act created in the plays as if these plays were speaking about them and their village problems. Aimed at effectively educating the general masses, these plays spoke about burning human concerns like 'Save the Girl Child', 'Women empowerment and education' 'Sanitation Education- Swach Bharat Abhiyaan', 'Communal harmony' 'National integration' and 'Peace, the pre-requisite for overall development'. Utilizing theatre as one of the most effective medium of instruction and education because of its amazing power to engage spectators emotionally, intellectually and spiritually at times, Natrang, with the support of Indian Army touched the cord of the hearts of people and this was apparent in today's perform- ances where each word of the actors was appealing the heart and mind of the audiences and was preparing them for a revolu- tionary change in their life-style. A team of twenty artists/technicians of Natrang is going to perform highly mean- ingful theatre at the far-flung remotest areas where people will not only witness but would be positively affected by the area Man found dead Excelsior Correspondent KATRA, Aug 10: An unidentified person in the age group of 50-55 years, was found dead near counter num- ber 2 of yatra registration, here this morning. From its appearance, the deceased seemed to be a beg- gar or poor labourer. Police shifted the body to CHC Katra for identification and further course of action.
