A. Gugan, district president of Madurai District Cameramen Association, said most of the photographers and videographers had suffered financially during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Even now most of the photographers and videographers are not earning much as their services are not utilised any more by people who have turned cost-conscious and conduct weddings and other functions in a simple manner,” he said.
Hence, the Association members must be given the task of being part of the video surveillance teams, he added.
