It comes as pleasant news that Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, which had remained closed to the public for the last nearly a year-and-a-half, owing to the pandemic, has now been reopened. It is learnt that the main hall of Ravindra Bhavan will be made available for staging tiatr shows, but audience will be restricted to 50% capacity as per the guidelines and SOPs of the government. Several Konkani tiatrists had fallen on bad times due to the stoppage of staging of tiatrs. However the opening of the Ravindra Bhavan at Margao will come as a huge relief for these artistes. Since only 50% capacity will be allowed, not many people will be able to witness the show at any given time. It is a fact that the Ravindra Bhavan halls are air-conditioned. Due to the Covid-19, it would be desirable for these air-conditioners to be kept shut. The halls should be provided with exhaust fans and the doors of the hall should be kept open throughout the show.
