A street drama staged by health workers of the Community Health Centre, Melattur, in the last three days has proven to be more effective than other means of communication in reaching out to the masses with a vital message against lifestyle diseases.
The street play titled ‘Chokanna Vellavum, Pressurinte Marunnum’ became an instant hit with the local people in Perinthalmanna block panchayat. Many stood in awe after watching the play, and said that they were inspired.
“The message against lifestyle diseases is quite effectively conveyed through this drama. It has much more effectiveness than any number of notices and pamphlets,” said Azeez Padikkad, block panchayat standing committee chairperson.
