BHOPAL: Organisers of Lok Rang being held at Ravindralaya to encourage local artists seem to have failed to meet the purpose.
They are discriminating between the foreign and the local artists. While the foreign artists are being brought to the site of the event by luxury cars, the ones from the state and from different parts of the country have been given worn-out mini buses for commuting.
Artists have come from Brazil, Ukraine, Russia and Australia to take part in Lok Rang.
Tribal artists from UP, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Assam and from other regions in the country are also taking part in it.
Nevertheless, none of them has expressed resentment at being provided with worn-out mini buses.
They feel whatever arrangements have been made are fine, but the organisers are busy putting up their points of view for the arrangements.
Programme officer Rajeev Saxena said the tribal artists wanted to come to Ravindralaya together. So they are provided with mini buses.
Since the number of foreign artists is less, they being brought to the site of the event by taxis.
