Chandigarh
Literary Society (CLS), which had organised a short-story writing competition
last month announced the winners.
There was an
encouraging response to the competition and within a span of 20 days we had
received 98 entries in various languages, and a three-panel jury comprising of
city-based noted author Khushwant Singh, writer and journalist Nirupama Dutt,
and author and educationist Neel Kamal Puri, evaluated the entries and selected
the winners, who will be recognized and awarded at a public function soon,
informed Sumita Misra, President of CLS.
Dinker Vashisht
has won the first prize for his story ‘August Rose’, while Nayantara Singh’s
“The Last Tsar”, and Suneet Kheterpal’s untitled story won the second and third
prize respectively.
The jury also
selected Nayan Jain’s ‘Encounters’, Kailash Srinivasan for ‘Super Khan’, and
Pankaj Sharma ‘Goodwill Hunting’ for special consolation prizes.
CLS would be
holding such literary competitions regularly to encourage young writers to
share their creativity, informed Ms Misra.
