Taking to X, the AICWA condemned the ‘carelessness’ and raised concerns about the negligence of production houses. “This incident is yet another tragic reminder of the recurring fire outbreaks in Mumbai and its surrounding film studios. Time and again, fires have engulfed sets due to the blatant negligence of producers, production houses, and television channels, who consistently fail to implement even the most basic fire safety measures. This apathy places the lives of thousands of workers at risk every single day,” read the tweet. The group also called for a probe into the matter and punishment for those responsible.

AICWA President Suresh Shyamlal Gupta made a strong-worded statement requesting Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to initiate a high-level judicial investigation into the fire. He has also called for the immediate removal of the Labour Commissioner of Mumbai and the Managing Director of Film City for failing to enforce safety regulations. The group also demanded an inquiry to look into the possibility of financial gain over fire accidents deliberately caused by producers in order to claim insurance.

The television body also noted that Mumbai studios have been catching fire, and many sets have burned down in the past. Hence, it has pushed for the mandatory implementation of comprehensive fire safety measures across all shooting locations. Any violation of fire safety regulations by a producer, production company, or television network will result in an immediate ban, it added.
