The Story in Brief
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has asked Maharashtra FDA commissioner Tukaram Mundhe to conduct surprise raids on film and TV sets in Mumbai over unhygienic food served to crew. In a letter dated August 11, FWICE general secretary Ashok Dubey said meals are often stale, poorly cooked and prepared in dirty conditions. The federation added that workers have no proper place to eat, with open areas exposed to dust, heat and rain. Previous complaints to the labour department drew no action, FWICE said.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that only restaurants flout hygiene rules is being challenged. The FWICE reminds us that the glamour of film sets often hides squalid conditions for daily-wage workers. The real test is not whether the FDA raids sets, but whether it follows up with binding standards for food and seating on every production. Will Mundhe's track record with eateries translate into equal vigour for the studio backlot?
