A scene from the puppet show |
| Medicovet Rural Welfare Society (MRWS) organised a puppet show at the Maharaj Bagh entertainment park in Nagpur, India to create awareness among people on the dangers of armed violence. The show was based on stories of victims of gun violence and is held throughout the Week of Action. Located in the heart of the city, the entertainment park draws a large crowd each day, particularly this week because of the summer vacation. Interestingly, at the entrance to the park, toy guns are sold. Through the show, Medicovet is encouraging children to give up toy guns. After each show, attention is also drawn to recent incidents of gun violence and views exchanged. |
