President BN Tiwari said.”There have been no major injuries. Kuch bhi ho sakta tha, par shukr hai kisi ko kuch zyada laga nahi. Jahaan shooting ho rahi thi, wahaan par shooting band kara di gayi hai. Due to no maintenance, the ceiling collapsed in the studio and anything can happen there. So, for safety reasons, this step was taken,”
Talking about the letter to our honourable Prime Minister, he added, “We have sent a letter to the Prime Minister in Delhi as well as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra over the health and safety of workers in the industry. We have written to Film City too that the foundations are so old that they can fall down any day. So, a structural audit needs to be done. There is no exit gate for fire safety in case of a mishap. Puri film industry bhagwan ke sahare chal rahi hai, par bhagwan bhi kab tak hi dekhega.”
He expressed concern about how the television industry operates, stating that its functioning is an important issue, he stated, “Ever since the TV industry has come, this problem has increased because people have to shoot the same day and telecast it straight away. There are no regulated working hours or job security. Such incidents keep happening daily, but compensation karke usko daba diya jata hai. Bahot si baatein toh hum tak pahuchti bhi nahi, kaam khone ke darr ke chalte.”
The president of FWICE stated that they are discussing the issue with the government and trying to build pressure. However, they are also prepared to take independent action if necessary.
