LAHORE: The Ainak Wala Jin Award show, earlier scheduled for September, will be held in October.

Haseeb Pasha, the moving spirit behind the show, told Dawn the show had been rescheduled due to floods and now a grand show will be held in October. He said a new set of the show and new costumes had been arranged for the characters.

Leading artists and singers who have performed in popular children’s drama, such as Shabnam Majeed, Humera Arshad, Fareeha Pervaiz, Shehzad Qaiser and Hafeez Tahir would be invited to the show. He said several generations have grown up watching the three-decade-old children’s favourite play.

It is an educational show in which children are shown different segments conveying messages of peace, harmony, and love for the country, respect for teachers and the value of truth. The show, Mr Pasha, said would have a new set, lighting system, décor and costumes. There will be a grand award ceremony.
