JAMMU, Jan 19: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Sarkari Afsar’ written by Laxmikant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play opens in a Government office where all the employees are shown working in their own styles as they have job security and no one bothers to exercise punctuality.
Common vices like red-tapeism, nepotism, favouritism, corruption, absenteeism and sycophancy are prominently shown in the play in a very genuine manner.
The office has a peon who listens to none as no one can remove him from his permanent job and moreover no one, even the boss, has courage to say anything to him as he has lot of secrets of theirs.
The only person who musters respect from this stubborn peon is an official who is a relative of a Minister and works fearlessly as being a relative of Minister, no one could harm him.
On the top of it, the Head of the Department, who was supposed to maintain integrity and punctuality of the office himself shirks from his duties and absconds from the office.
To the dismay of all, a vigilance officer conducts a surprise raid and finds no one in the office without any information and thus orders suspension of all the absconders. But by the time this new situation could establish the faith of good governance, the raid turns out to be dream and the fate of working of the Government office continues to be the same.
Natrang artists who performed in the play were Mihir Gujral, Aryan Sharma, Kartik Kumar, Adaksh Bagal and Lalita Sharma.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant and music of the play was scored by Kananpreet Kaur.
