Eminent theatre personality hospitalised

BHUBANESWAR: The artistes’ fraternity of the State has expressed deep concern over hospitalisation of eminent theatre personality Dolagobinda Rath following cardiac complications. They have further appealed to the State Government, corporate houses and generous individuals to provide financial support for his treatment.

A proud product of the prestigious National School of Drama and former faculty member of the Utkal Sangeet Mahavidyalaya, Rath has directed more than 70 plays and scripted three apart from translating six into Oriya.

He played a pivotal role in grooming a large number of young directors and actors by constantly conducting theatre workshops throughout the State.

He brought laurels to the State as the only Oriya theatre director to be featured in a Doordarsan documentary as one of the seven well-known theatre personalities of India.

Rath requires at least Rs.2.5 lakh for the emergency treatment, said his friends who were attending him at the hospital.
