SAHIWAL – Disasters leave many stories behind and some of these stories become examples of sacrifice while some show the cruelty and inhumanity of the society. Similarly, the recent floods in the country have given birth to different stories. Punjab Lok-Rahas has picked up a few stories from Rajanpur and enacted them in a 40-minute one-act play named Mahno Kahani.
The play was performed in the lawns of Sahiwal Elementary College for Teachers on Tuesday while around 500 students watched it and registered their concern raised by the actors regarding the distribution of relief goods among the flood victims. Mahno Kahani is a true story of catastrophe-hit district Rajanpur, tehsil Jampur and around 225 villages. It is a ride with seven actors to experience various incidents happening with the common people of Rajanpur before, during and after the flood.
It further uncovers the brutality of a person to his other fellows due to economic and power issues. The play pinpoints the flaws and corruption in the emergency relief work and depicts the human commitment towards the common goods. The play is written and directed by Punjab Lok-Rahas Director Qasir Abbas while Wajiha, Sabah Masood, Shahzad, Imtiaz, Alweera, Salman, Shahbaz, Zaman and Fayyaz performed as actors and Abrar managed the play’s soundtracks.
