All scripts of stage plays were cancelled on Amir Mir’s order

LAHORE: Acting on the directives of Provincial Minister for Information and Culture, Amir Mir, the Punjab Arts Council has decided to annul all the scripts of stage plays for government and private theatres across the province.

Amir Mir cited non-compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the Home Department for stage productions as the primary reason behind this script cancellation. Following this measure, no theatrical productions will be staged until further notice.

Amir Mir emphasized that unveiling new dramas would be contingent upon enforcing the amended Drama Act. The minister has instructed the Punjab Arts Council to approve the finest and most high-quality drama scripts exclusively. It is worth noting that the Punjab government had previously imposed bans on actors and directors for breaches of conduct. Additionally, Amir Mir clarified that dances have been excluded from stage performances under the amended act.
