Bokaro: Chhau, the traditional dance form of Jharkhand renowned for its vibrant masks, elaborate costumes, and acrobatic moves, is witnessing a resurgence, thanks to efforts by organisations like the Sangeet Natak Akademi. The Chhau Kala Kendra in Chandankyari is at the forefront of this revival, organising workshops to train artists in Chhau dance, mask-making, and playing traditional instruments like the 'Shehnai'."Workshops and training have increased awareness of Chhau among artists," said Kalyan Sinha of Chhau Kala Kendra Chandankyari.&nbsp;Despite this, challenges remain. Veteran strict Parikshit Mahto, a 2024 recipient of the Sangeet Natak Akademi award, expressed concerns about the declining popularity and financial hardships. "Earlier, there were many Chhau parties in Jharkhand. Now, there are far fewer," he said.&nbsp;Mahto also highlighted the economic struggles faced by performers, who often lack pensions and funding for essential performance materials.&nbsp;Since the establishment of the Chhau Kala Kendra in 2018, there has been some progress. "The number of Chhau teams has grown from 32 to 38. Artists are now performing in programs outside the region, raising the profile of the Chandankyari Centre," Sinha noted.&nbsp;However, the financial viability of pursuing Chhau as a livelihood remains a significant hurdle. Artists are advocating for government support, similar to West Bengal's LokPrakalpo scheme, which provides pensions to senior folk artists.&nbsp;"We don't receive pensions like in Bengal, but we are hopeful. We want this art form to grow," said Chhau dancer Rajesh Kalindi. (With PTI Inputs)

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Monday said north India is facing a medical emergency due to hazardous air quality caused by stubble burning.&nbsp;Addressing a press conference here, Atishi said the BJP-led central government has been doing politics over the issue of pollution but has taken no step to check stubble burning in states like Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh -- all ruled by the saffron party.Lauding the AAP-ruled Punjab, she said it is the only state where the cases of stubble burning have come down significantly. In BJP-ruled states, they have gone up, she claimed.Atishi said due to Delhi's worsening air quality, the elderly are being hospitalised and children need inhalers and steroids to breathe. Delhi's air quality worsened to the 'severe plus' category on Monday with the city recording an AQI of 484. Tighter pollution control measures, including a ban on truck entry and suspension of construction at public projects, came into force in the morning.
