The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), on Tuesday, demanded an urgent and high-level inquiry after a massive blaze erupted on the sets of the television show Anupamaa in Mumbai. The sets of the show, located in Film City in Goregaon, caught fire in the wee hours of Monday, causing huge damage to property.Though no casualties were reported in the incident, the AICWA has criticised the producers for risking the lives of hundreds of workers on the sets. "This incident is yet another alarming reminder of the repeated fire in Film City and other shooting locations in Maharashtra, which are a direct result of negligence by producers, production houses, and channels who routinely ignore fire safety protocols. Thousands of technicians, workers, and artists risk their lives daily due to the lack of basic fire safety systems and enforcement," the workers' body wrote in a letter sent to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis."Despite several previous incidents and warnings, no serious or systemic action has been taken by the authorities or Film City administration. Shockingly, even after earlier fire incidents were brought to the attention of the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha by me as President of the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), the government and administration failed to implement strict fire safety guidelines or audits across the industry," it further read.The statement then said, "Therefore, AICWA urgently demands a high-level judicial inquiry into the fire on the set of Anupamaa, immediate suspension of the Managing Director of Film City and the Labour Commissioner of Mumbai, for gross negligence and dereliction of duty, FIR against the producers, production house, television channel, as well as Film City officials for failing to ensure worker safety, and an investigation into possible insurance fraud, examining whether the fire was intentionally caused to claim insurance serious and criminal angle."The organisation also asked for a statewide fire audit of every studio and film set in Maharashtra, and stated that production houses and channels that fail to comply with mandatory fire safety protocols must be blacklisted."The lives of cine workers, junior artists, and technicians are not expendable. It is heartbreaking that workers must continue to operate in unsafe, unregulated conditions while those responsible face no consequences," the statement concluded.Meanwhile, after the fire on the sets of Anupamaa was doused, producer Rajan Shahi assured that nobody was harmed in the blaze as there was no one present on the sets. " There was no shoot on Sunday, and today's call time was scheduled later in the day. At the time of the incident, no unit members were present on set-only the security personnel and set staff were there, who are all safe. No animals were harmed, and proper care was taken for their safety," he said.
