Ganasur has carved a niche for itself by performing in All India drama competition in Lucknow and has also staged several dramas in Bangladesh apart from their performances in several areas of North East India. In a press meet organised in this connection in the club premises on last Sunday, cultural icons of the valley, who are members of Ganasur expressed their plans of celebrating their much cherished golden jubilee. However, though they had chalked out a blue print since the last few years for celebrating their golden jubilee, yet the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic have compelled them to modify their plans abiding by the Covid appropriate behaviour. As such, they have now decided to mark their august celebration in a virtual mode.
