AICWA Demands Action After Worker Suffers Electric Shock on Mangal Lakshmi Set
A tragic incident on the set of Mangal Lakshmi has raised serious concerns about worker safety in the entertainment industry. A crew member working as an electrician suffered a severe electric shock, causing him to fall from a height and sustain critical injuries. This accident occurred on December 6, 2024, at Film City, Goregaon.
The worker is currently in the ICU, battling for his life. Reports claim that his family is being pressured to stay silent about the incident, with threats that they will lose financial support for his treatment if they speak out.
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has reacted strongly to this incident. Taking to their official X (formerly Twitter) account, they shared details of the accident and demanded strict action against the makers of Mangal Lakshmi.
Their tweet stated:
“This is not an isolated incident—Filmcity has witnessed numerous accidents, most of which are silenced under pressure. The lives of hardworking laborers cannot continue to be treated as expendable. Justice delayed is justice denied.”
AICWA also tagged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, urging immediate and decisive action to ensure justice.
For those unaware, this comes shortly after a similar incident on the set of Anupamaa, where a crew member tragically lost their life due to electrocution.
Mangal Lakshmi stars Deepika Singh, Naman Shaw, and Sanika Amit in key roles. The show, which airs on Colors TV, premiered on February 27, 2024.
This incident has highlighted the urgent need for better safety measures on sets to protect the lives of workers who contribute tirelessly behind the scenes.
