The shooting of drama was stopped for a long time to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Television related inter-organization has given permission to shoot TV dramas once again, provided they follow health rules set up by the government.

The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of 19 organisations including Television Program Producers Association of Bangladesh, Directors Guild and TV Drama Shilpi Sangha on Thursday.

According to the decision taken, the shooting can be done from today, June 1, in accordance with the appropriate health rules. Several decisions have been taken in this meeting. These area—

1. As the number of corona infections continues to rise, experts believe that the situation will be more dire in the coming days. So the inter-organization is also discouraging shooting.

But for those of whom it is urgent to get work done, in order to continue their livelihood, they can take part in shooting if they want on their own responsibility in compliance with the health rules given by the inter-organization.

2. In addition to ensuring adequate safety before the shooting starts, the unit will start shooting once they receive the permission of the local administration. If there is any problem in this case, the concerned shooting unit has to bear its full responsibility.

3. Make sure that all the artistes in each shooting unit are complying with the health rules. If there is a problem, they will solve it on their own initiative with the help of the person involved in the production.

4. This announcement is consistent with the government's announcement for general closure and lockdowns. Shooting activities may be suspended or cancelled at any time, depending on the situation.

All types of shooting of television dramas were stopped from March 22. Shooting stops have been extended several times in line with public closure. On May 15, the television-related inter-organization gave permission to shoot dramas subjected to conditions. 

But within a day of giving permission, the order to stop shooting was once again given. From now on, shooting can again be done according to the above conditions.
