For the first time in their 120-year-old history, Mumbai's famous dabbawalas, who deliver tiffins service to over two lakh people daily, will be taking a break tomorrow in support of Anna Hazare's cause.
"In the last 120 years, we have not had the occasion to take a day off, come rain or shine. We never stop work. But we have decided to back Hazare's agitation," Sopan Mare of the Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association told reporters here today.

"To support Hazare, as the whole country is doing so, the 5,000 dabbawalas in the city would hold a rally from Churchgate to Azad Maidan tomorrow," Mare said.
Asked if their customers would be irked if they fail to deliver their tiffins, Mare said, "They love us so much that they won't feel offended with our action. All this is for a cause which we feel is just."
