In the recent letter, the unions have made an appeal for an additional inoculation centre in the Mira Road-Bhayander region. Ashok Dubey, general secretary, FWICE, reveals, “When we sent out the earlier proposal, we wrote how daily-wagers who were working on a 12-hour shift wouldn’t be able to go out and take the jab. That led us to consider a mass vaccination drive within the premises. That’s when Yash Raj Films’ [head] told us that they would bear the expenses for all the Film City workers. He is someone who honours his commitments.”
