Reason

Recently, the sets of a TV show Apno Ke Liye Geeta Ka Dharamyudh were ransacked by angry villagers.

Having received numerous complaints about the safety of workers and the difficulty in travelling to the location owing to the lack of transportation facilities, the Federation has decided to stop producers from shooting in Naigaon if they don't ensure the safety of workers.

Dinesh Chaturvedi, president, Federation of Western India Cine Employees confirmed, "We have been getting a lot of complaints about shooting in Naigaon.

Many fights have taken place on the sets in which local people hit the workers. Such incidents should not happen."

"Why should workers suffer? We want security for them. The shoots get over at 2 am and its difficult to find trains or taxis to travel to the city. How will workers reach home?

If the day starts at 6 am and ends at 9 pm, it is not feasible for workers to travel so much and be present at he shoot so early the next day.

"We understand the producers' problem, but they have to ensure the security of workers. If the studios don't guarantee the safety of workers, we will have to issue a non-cooperation notice.

But, we will give them a month before we do so, " added Chaturvedi.
