Srinagar: Actors Creative Theatre (ACT), a non-profit organization is organizing a three day cultural event ‘Srinagar Smart City Istaqbaal e Chila e Kalaan’ (40-days of harsh winters), at Tagore Hall, Srinagar from Saturday.
The main sponsor of this cultural event is ‘Srinagar Smart City Limited’ and it concludes on 21st December.
Creative Director of ACT, Mushtaaque Ali Ahmad Khan during the press conference on Friday at Tagore Hall said that the event is being organized at a time when Kashmiri people are sitting in their cozy rooms because of freezing cold. We want them to come out of their homes and enjoy this cultural extravaganza. Usually this season is taken as a dull period in Kashmir and there is least cultural activity. We want to utilize this opportunity and want to make this period a most happening period.”
