Dabbawallahs take a break, feed 1,000 poor people

MUMBAI: Dabbawallahs suspended supply of tiffins for the day as rail services had been suspended after the bridge cave in at Andheri station. Each dabbawallah handles roughly 90 deliveries. Mumbai Dabbawallahs' Association spokesperson Subhash Talekar mentioned, "As soon as we learned that services were suspended between Churchgate and Virar around 7.30am, we sent out messages to our boys to halt collection of tiffins from homes. Those who had done so were told to return them. Otherwise, the food would have got spoilt, as there was no way of making deliveries."
