LAHORE – The caretaker Punjab government has sealed all theatres in Lahore division for vulgar dance performances and obscene acts during stage dramas.
Caretaker provincial Information Minister Amir Mir shared the development on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, saying the action was taken after serving multiple warnings to the administration of the theatres.
He said the government had to take decision to seal the theaters involved in spread of vulgarity in order to show the owners and actors about the seriousness of the government in this regard.
