LAHORE: A steering committee formed to make recommendations on how to regulate morality in theatres decided on Sunday that no dances should be allowed in stage plays. Speaking at the meeting in the town hall, Executive District Officer (EDO) for Coordination Zahid Aziz said the district government was not against dance, but against the âvulgarity and obscenityâ form of dance common in Punjabi plays.

âDCO (District Coordination Officer) Khalid Sultan wants to promote art and theatre so families can watch plays and enjoy themselves. But he will not allow objectionable dances that offend the morality of audiences,â Mr Aziz said. The committee also asked theatre owners to ensure âvulgar and obsceneâ dances do not take place in their auditoriums. If they do, the performers responsible should be banned for three months all over the Punjab and producers and director must not cast them. Plays should end before midnight.
