Lahore Cantt assistant commissioner sends notice to Shalimar Theatre warning not to conduct any dramatic performance unless fresh approval is secured.
Minister of Information and Culture Amir Mir has taken decisive action against what they claim are ‘obscene’ dances in Gujranwala and Faisalabad. Orders have been issued to remove the directors of the arts council in Faisalabad and Gujranwala from their positions due to their failure to curb the presence of ‘indecent’ performances in local theatres.
Theatres in Faisalabad and Gujranwala that were showcasing such lewd performances have been shuttered.
