MUMBAI:Federation of Western India Cine Employees has appealed to Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray to grant permission to resume the post-production work of the media and entertainment industry. 

In the letter the federation said that the media and entertainment industry is the largest revenue earner, but the Covid2019 lockdown has ceased all the production activities. As a result the industry is suffering huge losses.

Producers have poured in huge funds into various projects. The association appealed that it will be a great relief to them if they are able to release their projects immediately after the lockdown is lifted.

The federation sought the chief minister’s permission to continue with the post production activities, such as editing, sound recording, etc. of such projects nearing completion, so that it will give relief to the industry.

It assured the chief minister that necessary guidelines pertaining to the health, safety and security of the workers involved in such post-production activities will be adhered to.

The federation expressed the hope that the chief minister will be considerate and thoughtful regarding its plea and provide the necessary permissions to resume the post-production activities for the stuck projects in the media and entertainment industry.
