JAMMU, Nov 30: On the third day of 7th Natrang Theatre Festival of the year, Natrang here today staged play ‘Sarkari Daftar Ka Ek Din’ written by Laxmikant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play portrayed a real to life situation of a ‘Sarkari Daftar’ and highlighted the vices in a very clever manner.
The play is a story of a Government office where all the employees work in their own styles. As they have job security, no one bothers to exercise punctuality; on the contrary, they have their own reasons to modify the rules and regulations as per their convenience.
The common vices like red-tapeism, nepotism, favouritism, corruption, absenteeism and sycophancy which are generally associated with such offices are prominently shown in the play in a very genuine manner.
The office has a peon who listens to no one 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 knows everyone’s secrets.
The only person who musters respect from this stubborn peon is an official who is relative of a minister who works fearlessly as being a relative of a Minister.
The artists who performed in the play included Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Sumit Raina, Vanshika Gupta, Ujhwal Bandral, Udit Sagar and Abhinav Sharma.
The supporting staff included Neeraj Kant, Manoj Kumar Lalotra and Mohd Yaseen.
