Punjab will come up with a new film policy within two months that will enshrine the concept of rural cinema halls claimed to be first of its kind in the country.
Aimed at providing entertainment facilities to villagers, the state proposes to set up cinema halls in villages having one or two screens with a capacity of 100 seats.
"It will help entertainment of rural masses at low costs and provide impetus to production of more Punjabi and other languages films in the state," said Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal while deliberating on the film policy for Punjab drafted by the National Film Development Corporation.
Chaired by Sukhbir, the meeting was attended by Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Sarwan Singh Phillaur and Principal Secretary (Tourism) Geetika Kalha, besides corporation chairman Ramesh Sippy and its Managing Director Nina Lath Gupta.
