NALBARI, July 7 � The Nalbari district unit of Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) demanded of the proprietors of mobile theatre groups in the State not to allow this beautiful art form to degenerate into a pornography-like variety.
In a statement, Nalbari AJYCP president Diljit Barman and secretary Tafiqur Rahman called upon the State Government to constitute a censor board to prevent sexually explicit scenes from the theatre plays. They also threatened that if any mobile theatre producer ignored such social issues and add pornographic images in mobile theatre posters, the AJYCP volunteers will strictly resist it.
They hailed the decision of State Government to form the mobile theatre artiste welfare trust, but demanded to form the trust with Government fund. �When the Assamese mobile theatre groups success in performing at the national capital, this sector should maintain a clean image�, the release added.
The AJYCP unit also organised a seminar on the problems and prospects of mobile theatre groups, a mobile museum of Assamese culture, at Nalbari on July 10. The meeting will discuss the government decision for controlling mobile theatre groups which offers a lot of employment opportunities.
