Speaking about the “Hasya Rang Utsava”, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said, “Over the years, theatre has played a very important role in changing the perception of society towards many issues. There are many popular plays written ages ago that are still relevant to society. At events like “Hasya Rang Utsava”, our aim is not only to entertain the audience through such plays but also spread a positive message and create awareness about topics which need their attention.”
He added that Delhi Government’s Arts, Culture and Languages department along with Sahitya Kala Parishad is working diligently in this direction. The ACL Department is also in touch with community members to take note of their expectations for the development of arts, culture and languages in Delhi.
