As a part of surprise inspections being carried out on cinema theatres across Andhra Pradesh, Vizianagaram Joint Collector Dr. Kishore Kumar inspected and ordered the seizure of three theatres in the region.
The joint collector first went on a surprise inspection of Sai Krishna theatre in Vizianagaram. On his surprise visit, he found that the theatre management had not renewed the fire safety license since 2015. The JC expressed severe displeasure on this and ordered the immediate closure of the theatre premises.
Next, he visited the Gopala Krishna theatre and S3 cinemas. The collector found that the management was selling tickets for more than the government-ordered rates. He immediately ordered the seizure of these two premises as well.
The Andhra Pradesh government has taken serious cognizance of the mismanagement of cinema theatres in the state. The government is also taking issue of ticket prices quite seriously and conducting surprise checks.
The government has also not been willing to go back on the price rates for quite some time. This decision has put the producers and exhibitors in a spot of bother as they are already reeling under losses due to Covid enforced lockdown.
