People have suffered a lot during the past one year due to the pandemic. Life has been thrown out of gear. Jobs have been lost, businesses had to shut down.
The entertainment sector also had to suffer. With no stage programmes, the actors, directors, and all those associated with the stage performance were left without any work. These artistes also included all those who are associated with the Konkani tiatr.
Those who had no source of income may have found it difficult to make both ends meet. With a considerable fall in the number of the positive cases of the novel coronavirus and the positivity rate below four, it would be desirable to allow staging the Konkani tiatr with fifty percent capacity and following all the SOPs.
Konkani tiatr has been the main source of entertainment for Konkani loving Goans. When other sectors are gradually opening up, tiatrs could also be allowed to be staged.
This will go a long way in helping the people forget the psychological trauma they suffered in the past year due to the pandemic.
