vans

Retired IPS officer D Sivanandan and UK-based NRI businessman Nitin Khanapurkar launched the ‘Mumbai Roti Bank’ recently in association with the dabbawalas, where GPS-tracked vans would collect excess food from various eating joints, households, functions and school canteens and distribute it among underprivileged hungry people across Mumbai.

Authorities are planning to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with NGO Mee Mumbai Abhiyan-Abhiman, which also runs Namo Yuva Rozgar Kendra, to deliver farm produce in Mumbai.
