The letter further mentioned, "Despite several previous incidents and warnings, no serious or systemic action has been taken by the authorities or Film City administration. Shockingly, even after earlier fire incidents were brought to the attention of the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha by me as President of the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA), the government and administration failed to implement strict fire safety guidelines or audits across the industry."

The association demanded a judicial inquiry into the matter. Check out the post below:
