AMRITSAR: The play ‘Ticketan Do Lai Layeen’, depicting the plight of the Punjabi families migrating to the distant lands of Canada and how the changing value system affects their lives was staged at Khalsa University campus. Written by Dr. Harbhajan Singh Dhillon, directed by Narinder Sanghi, the top cast of the play including renowned theatre and film artist Anita Devgan and Hardeep Gill, brought to life a touching story through their acting.
