GUWAHATI, April 23: Feeling the need of a censor board to weed out ‘vulgar lyrics and music compositions that are infamous for false representation of origil Bihu music’, the Bihu Suraksa Samiti(BSS) urged the State Government to lay importance on the issue. Talking to newsmen, BSS chief advisor Jaykanta Gondhia said that incessant commercialization of Bihu is leading to downfall of the origil style and form of Bihu.  “There are instances of organizing Magh Bihu way ahead its origil timing. The traditiol forms of Meji and Bhela Ghar are modified. Such practices have to stop,” he said. BSS president Amarendra Gogoi said that artistes should try to create an audience-friendly environment.
