Allow shooting units in state to re-start their work, demand workers
Chandigarh, May 25, 2020 : Shooting units in the state have demanded that they should also be allowed to re- start shooting of films, songs, advertisements etc as all other categories have been allowed to start work after lifting of curfew.
In a letter written by these shooting units, they urged the Punjab Chief Minister that thousands of workers are dependent on this shooting work and these are also daily wagers who are facing problems due to curfew and now lockdown. They urged that as almost every section of business and other modes of employment has been allowed to work, they should also be allowed to start their work. They also assured to follow directions of the government regarding social distancing, sanitization etc.
