Aghast at the Devaswom Board’s decision to hold festivals in a low key manner devoid of cultural programmes, the Mimicry Artists’ Association has demanded a revisit of the decision citing the pitiable state of stage artists.

At a press conference held here on Monday, the association office bearers, including its president and film director Nadir Shah pointed out how other workplaces had been opened up by either partially or fully over the months.
