The Federation Of Western India Cine Employees has today written a letter to the Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray urging him to not impose a lockdown for the entertainment industry- Jyothi Venkatesh
They have stated that another lockdown will give rise to an unemployment situation once again for those dependent on the TV and movie industry for their livelihood.
The President of FWICE, B N Tiwari, general secretary Ashok Dubey, treasurer Gangeshwar Srivastav, and chief advisors Sharad Shelar and Ashok Pandit said,
FWICE have also shared the letter on their official Twitter handle. Talking about the letter, it stated that with the growing number of patients infected with COVID-19 in Maharashtra, the government is probably planning to impose another lockdown in the state particularly in Mumbai.
The FWICE mentioned that even though they are equally concerned about the situation, they are urging the government to not impose another lockdown on the behalf of all the artists, technicians and workers in the media and entertainment industry.
They added that the earlier lockdown has already harmed the economy of the entertainment industry and that people are still trying to recover from the losses incurred from the previous lockdown.
