Mysore/Mysuru: Well-known Theatre Director and Playwright Prasanna will be observing a fast from this evening (Mar. 26) to the midnight of Mar. 27 to urge the Government to grant autonomous status to all the Cultural Institutions related to Language, Art and Theatre.
In a press release on the eve of World Theatre Day (Mar. 27), Prasanna said, “Cultural Institutions belong to the people and are not Government Institutions. Providing grants does not entitle the Government to interfere in its affairs. But this interference, from Government and politicians, have been increasing these days, posing a threat to their autonomy. This must stop.”
