Read the people’s views about building a cinema hall.
Opening a Cinema- Local People’s Views

An entertainment related company plans to open a cinema in a newly
developed town in the far western part of Nepal. The company sent some
of their surveyors to take the people’s views. The views collected express
the likely results of the cinema.
Harina Ramjali, Parigaun: Surely the cinema will spoil
our children. They are bound to take money from home
and go to the cinema instead of school. The schools are
unlikely to be able to control the children. The proposed
cinema may be a big nuisance for parents with low income.
Jaimati Parki, Laldhunga: I am delighted to know about
the new proposal. The cinema is certain to generate jobs in
our area. People are likely to learn modern trends through
entertainment. The cinema may bring new and suitable
films for our locality. People might get to know lots of
things about cleanliness, education, human rights , safe
mother hood and women empowerment.
