Chandigarh, August 24 The North Zone Cultural Centre, Chandigarh, has launched a campaign to spread awareness against the menace of drug addiction and polythene. Artistes from Theatre Age, a city-based theatre group, have prepared two musical dance-dramas based on the serious hazards posed by drugs and polythene.

The first item, titled Poly Don, shows how the demon of polythene attacks society and how the use of paper and cloth bags can conquer it. The second play, “Giraft”, is the story of a young boy from an affluent family who is deprived of affection and falls into the clutches of drugs.

Both these plays are being staged in six villages of Chandigarh. The first show was staged on August 17 at Burail. They received good response from the audience. Both the plays have been conceived, written and directed by Zulfiqar Khan and choreographed by Vinod Azad. The artistes include Raman Kumar, Anoop Rahul, Lucky, Aaishwya Aakash Ashwani Aashish among others.

On August 25 and 26, the plays will be staged at Khuda Ali Sher and Dhanas villages.
