Film crew thrown out of National Park

The crew of the film Marigold, including its hero

Salman Khan, was thrown out of the Sanjay Gandhi

National Park on Tuesday.

 

A total of 36 trucks drove up to the Kanheri Caves

within the protected area, but the film unit, which

had taken permission of the Archeological Survey of

India, had forgotten to take permission from the

Animal Welfare Board of India.

 

According to sources, the crew was making a huge

racket within the national park where incidentally a

census exercise is under progress.

 

Salman along with the film crew allegedly landed up at

the park at around 10.30 am on Tuesday morning and the

shoot continued till 3 pm, which is when forest

officials asked the unit to leave.

 

The reason: no permission from the Animal Welfare

Board of India or the Sanjay Gandhi National Park

authorities.

 

“They had come for a film shoot, but we asked them to

leave as they didn’t have necessary permission,” said

Deputy Conservator of Forests Sudhir Padwale. He,

however, added that they wouldn’t be taking any action

against the film unit.

 

Padwale added that the unit wasn’t creating any noise

and that there were only around 20 to 25 trucks.

 

Reacting to the incident PETA functionary Anuradha

Sawhney said that action should be initiated against

Salman and the members of the film unit as they had

violated the law.

 

“He (Salman) has already been involved in an incident

where animals were killed, so this incident is a very

serious issue. The law has been violated and those who

have violated it should be punished,” she said.
