PESHAWAR: All registered organizations of literature, arts and culture of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have formally announced the establishment of the ‘Coordination Council for Literature, Art and Culture (CCLAC)’said a press release issued here on Tuesday. The aim of the council is to promote arts and culture in the province, resolve the problems of artistes and writers and ensure effective representation in cultural policy-making. This council has been established as a result of the long-standing desire and continuous insistence of the Culture Department of the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that all registered artist associations of the province unite their voices on a unified platform. In the past, different organizations used to communicate with the government at their own levels, which made the process of representation and policy-making ineffective. In this context, all registered organizations formed a joint forum through mutual consultation so that coordination, suggestions, and decisions could be made collectively with the future government through an effective representative body.
