'Anupamaa' set engulfed in flames: Cine association demands inquiry

A fire broke out early Monday on the set of Anupamaa, one of India's top TV shows, at Mumbai's Film City.
The flames started around 5am and wiped out the entire set just before filming was supposed to start.
Luckily, no one was hurt—crew members were setting up but hadn't begun shooting yet.

TL;DR

AICWA calls out serious safety lapses

The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) called out serious safety lapses after the fire.
Their president wants a full judicial probe and has asked for top officials to be suspended over ignored safety measures.
AICWA also says every film set in Maharashtra should have mandatory fire safety checks, warning that studios ignoring these rules could get blacklisted.
This incident is raising big questions about how safe film sets really are.
