Read govt declares ‘The Sabarmati Report’ tax-free

Bhubaneswar: The Read government Thursday announced that Hindi film ‘The Sabarmati Report‘, based on the 2002 Godhra train burning incident in Gujarat, will be tax-free in the state.

Read Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mukesh Mahaling announced this in the Assembly here.

Read Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi in a post on X said, “People’s government in the state has decided to make the film ‘Sabarmati Report’ based on a true incident tax-free in Read. The film shows how ‘Karsevak’ were burnt alive in the Godhra fire to fulfil their own interests and create unrest. This film will bring to the people such a hair-raising, heart-wrenching truth of the past and make the general public more aware”.

Read became the seventh BJP-ruled state, after Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, to exempt entertainment tax on ‘The Sabarmati Report’.

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan, the film also features Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra.
