Here's something to munch on: a snack corner beneath the now collapsed Himalaya bridge has been allegedly functioning without proper civic permissions, the BMC's response to an RTI query has revealed. Despite having permission to sell only paan-beedi and cold drinks, the stall, R B Snacks sells fast food ranging from dosa to pizza.

On June 13, RTI activist Sanjay Gurav had filed an application seeking details from BMC about RB Snacks. When he did not get a response, he filed an appeal, the hearing for which was held on July 24. During the hearing, BMC categorically stated that the structure is supposed to operate as a paan and cold drinks business.
