LUDHIANA: Members of Sangeet (Jagran) community of Punjab on Thursday held a protest against Punjab government near Jalandhar bypass, and threatened to go on hunger strike if their demands were not met with. Seeking relaxation in the timings, the members said the government should make it possible to organise events in the night, catering to at least 100 people, if all necessary precautions are taken. The members said they have been facing losses for the last two years. “Unemployment is particularly high for performing artists, because artists are much more likely to be self-employed. Performing artists have more trouble earning money by working from home, whereas designers, writers, and even visual artists may be able to continue working, publishing, or selling their art remotely,” they said.
