Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister, Mian Iftikhar Hussain has ordered the establishment of Censor Board in the province in the light of 18th amendment, so that the problem of vulgarity and obscenity could be eliminated. He said this while chairing the meeting of the department of culture here on Monday.

The minister said that along with promoting positive cultural activities in the province, theatre play on the lives of national heroes would also be staged. The meeting was informed that the CD on theatre play of great Pashto poet philosopher “Rehman Baba” was ready and would soon be introduced in the market after necessary editing. Similarly, the team has been selected for theatre play on the lives of another Pashto freedom fighter and poet “Khushal Khan Khattak” as work on its script writing and production would be started soon.

The meeting also discussed improving socio-economic condition of the people associated with cultural activities. Culture is an important sector but it has been ignored in the past, resultantly today terrorism, extremism and militancy got roots in the society and many people fell victim to militancy in the province, the minister added.
