Noted film-maker Adoor Gopalakrishnan has called for a permanent free space for staging various art forms.
He was speaking after inaugurating a meeting held here on Thursday in memory of venerated dramatist G. Sankara Pillai.
The meeting was held at the Maavaveeyan Veedhi a road which is slated to become a permanent venue for cultural activities.
Later, a sapling was planted by the Veedhi in memory of Sankara Pillai.
It was the late dramatists close associates — playwright S. Ramanujam and actor N. Rajan — who planted the sapling.
A press note issued here said the sapling was planted by the side of the tree planted in memory of poet Kamala Suraiyya.
