Kathmandu, December 2 Drama director Rajkumar Pudasaini has written a play âJeevan Chalirahanchaâ (life goes on) based on the real story of a woman journalist who suffered extreme violence. Almost a decade ago, a woman journalist was raped and it took almost eight years for her to get justice. When drama director Pudasaini read this news in a newspaper, he thought of writing it in the form of a play and staging it to raise awareness on violence against women. Director Pudasaini was touched by these words of the victim: âIf there were education, health and other facilities in the village, I wouldnât have come to Kathmandu and this incident would not have occurred.â Speaking at a programme organised here today, Pudasaini said. Talking to the women journalists at a programme, he said, âYou people are the source of my inspiration. So, you should be the first to watch it being enacted.â The premier show of this drama will be held at Tundikhel on December 5.The drama will be staged till December 15.
