Strike in Event Industry for the first time...

10-Aug-2017

Pune Sound, Lights, Electricals Genset Association has decided to go on strike from 11’th August till 6’th September 2017.  The strike called out by the Association as they were blamed wrongfully for breaking the stringent rules set by the local authorities for noise pollution.  The strike may hit over 1000 upcoming events including “Indian Ocean” and “Sanam’s” music concerts. The biggest event that will get affected is Ganesh festival. Addressing the growing concern for the festival the President of the Association Uday Shah said “the Association has already informed all the Ganesh Mandals about the strike”  further he added that the discussion are going on between the Authorities and the Association to rule out the strike as early as possible.

This is for the first time that a section of event Industry has strongly come out for resolving their issues.

Since years, Event Industry all over India has been facing various issues like permission procurement, PPL/IPRS license issue and ticket demands by local authorities from Event Organizers. Will Event Industry unite and take the strong stand to resolve such critical issues are to be seen?
