Bollywood industry to work on their fire and safety measures on sets following the Kamala Mills incident?

The Kamala Mills incident pretty much shook the entire city of Mumbai. The fire at 1Above was a wake-up call for the Film and TV industry, too. A survey done by the industry exposed the appalling conditions on film and TV show sets. Amit Behl, who has been a part of many shows, said, “We have done a survey in which we have found 72 percent of the sets in appalling conditions most of them are not fire compliant. They are like matchboxes, which can catch fire anytime. We have submitted our report to health and fire department on the same. The fire at Kamala Mills is a wake-up call for the film and TV industry. If we don’t spruce up the safety measures, a single incident can harm over 150 people.’’

He further continued, “Many studios, like the ones in Mira Road, Naigaon, Kanjurmarg, and Umergaon have no safety measures. None of them are fire compliant and most TV shoots take place in these studios. I don’t blame the producers, but the studio owners are not following the norms and they are to be blamed.’’ Well, it certainly looks like this incident has become a wake-up call for everyone.
