Taking a serious note of alleged attack on a social activist here during the shoot of an upcoming Bollywood movie, the civic corporation today said film shootings will be allowed only on weekends and not on the city pavements and public roads.
Corporation of the City (CCP) of Panaji Mayor Surendra Furtado told reporters that film shoots will be allowed only on weekends when the city has a "lesser activity" compared to weekdays.
"I also won't mind banning film shootings in the city if all 30 corporators are unanimous on the demand," Furtado said, responding to a question.
Dr Oscar Rebello, a social activist, who spearheaded anti-Regional Plan protests and other agitations, was allegedly manhandled by five men who were in charge of the security during the shooting of the film 'Mango' while he was walking to his clinic last morning.
The CCP will also convene a special meeting of corporators on the issue, the Mayor said.
