The daily wage workers across different avenues are badly hit by the lockdown. The country is witnessing a 21-day lockdown, as announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to contain the spread of the virus.
According to Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) president B N Tiwari, Salman via his Being Human Foundation reached out to their organization to help the workers.”Salman’s Being Human Foundation has come forward to help daily wage workers. They called us three days ago. We have about 5 lakh workers out of which 25,000 are in dire need of financial help. Being Human Foundation said they will take care of these workers on their own. They have asked for account details of these 25,000 workers as they want to ensure that money reaches them directly,” as Tiwari told PTI
“The remaining 4,75,000 workers can survive for about a month. We already have huge ration packets for all the workers but unfortunately due to lock down they are not able to come here to collect it. We are thinking of ways how to reach out to them,” he added.
Tiwari said FWICE has reached out to several actors and filmmakers to make a contribution.
Earlier in the week, filmmakers and actors, including Karan Johar, Taapsee Pannu, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kiara Advani, Rakul Preet Singh, Sidharth Malhotra, and Nitesh Tiwari come forward their support to a new initiative aimed at supporting the daily wage earners.
“I Stand With Humanity”,the International Association for Human Values, the Art of Living Foundation and the Indian Film and TV Industry started this initiative, and will provide families of daily wage workers with 10 days of essential food supplies.
The Producers Guild of India also announced that they have set up a relief fund for daily wage earners impacted by the shutdown of film, television and web productions amid the coronavirus pandemic. Their decision came after many filmmakers, including Sudhir Mishra, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap, raised concerns over the impact of shutdown on the daily wage workers.
