Pune Municipal Corporation puts its foot down; new owners say they have lost some documents, but declare that the joint will be thrown open by Feb 24
The reopening date of the famed German Bakery is still unknown as the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is standing firm on its order to not allow the eatery to reopen without Structural Stability Report (SSR) and sanctioned plan.
The municipal corporation officials visited the bakery a couple of days ago to take a look at the on-going renovations and asked the owners to submit all relevant papers. On the other hand, the bakery owners say that they have most of the documents, but have lost some. They claim that the reopening will take place by February 24.
