Natrang stages play 'Zameen Ka Sawaal'

Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, May 5: Theatre Group 'Natrang' here today staged Hindi play 'Zameen Ka Sawaal' written by Partap Sehgal and directed by Neeraj Kant. The play opens in a trial room where a high level committee is enquiring a very grim incident where five people were killed by sending letter-bombs. 'Ranganathan' a very senior scientist is accused of master-minding the crime as all the evidence were against him. Initially he does not admit having involved in the crime but when given a false news that his only son is also killed in the same manner, he breaks down and with a deep agony admits his crime which he had committed to take revenge from all those who put hurdles in his growth and promotion. Despite being the most outstanding and deserving scientist having dedicated entire life in research, he was denied his due recognition and promotion as it was granted to someone else who had a close proximity with the political hierarchy. Frustrated by this, he asserts that only hard work and ability will take you nowhere in this system, where corruption and favoritism are deep-rooted. Natrang artists who performed in the play were Udit Sagar, Sushant Singh Charak, Manavdeep Singh, Chahat Katyal, Kuldeep Angral, Rakshit Arora, Aarti Devi, Kananpreet Kaur, Simran and Adil Khan. Lights were executed by Neeraj Kant whereas the sound was operated by Aarti Devi.
