A filmindustry delegation consisting of T.P.Agarwal –
President of IMPPA, Vikas Mohan- Senior Vice President of IFTPC,
Ashoke Pandit- President IFTDA, Ramesh Taurani and Naresh Mahnot- Film
Producers and Jamnadas Majitha- Television Producer. Me with Mumbai
police commissioner Rakesh Maria.
The
issues that were discussed were serious ones concerning the producers.
The first was how In the recent times a dangerous phenomenon has
developed amongst the film unions of political parties where they barge
inside a film/television set and disrupt the shoot on various pretexts
and threatening the unit of dire consequences if their demands are not
addressed to immediately.
Mr.
Rakesh Maria assured that such kind of unruly behavior will not be
tolerated and strict action shall be taken against the erring parties.
He instructed his officers to write letters to all the police stations
in the city; initiating action against anyone perpetrating unlawful
activities on film sets.
The
second issue was that of a very common occurrence where junior police
officers and traffic cops visit sets on the pretext of extorting money
from film units.
Mr.
Maria instructed that all police stations should be informed to start a
single window procedure for the permission of film/television without
any delay. Strict action shall be taken against the corrupt erring
officers who visit the sets on the excuse of extorting money. The erring
officer can be suspended too; if found guilty.
“Mr
Maria took some immediate steps and it was heartening for us
producers,” explained Ashoke Pandit. “We went to him with hope and are
very glad our problems were listened to and steps taken immediately.
Hats off to Rakesh Maria.”
