IFTDA President Ashoke Pandit told IANS: “We have strictly warned that a complete lockdown should be maintained on Saturdays and Sundays. We have also requested the Government of Maharastra to start a vaccination centre at Film City so that it will become easy for many of technicians and daily wage workers to get vaccinated there.”
