For years, the dabbawalas of Mumbai have been ensuring that people across the city, be it school children, college students or corporate professionals, get to have healthy and nutritious meals. Hence, they feel it's imperative for them to help the state government in its fight against the spread of the Coronavirus. As such, dabbawalas will stop their services from tomorrow till March 31.

While the Mumbai Dabbawala Association believes that the situation would be better by April 1 and they will be able to resume services, a decision will be taken only after assessing the situation. The step is also to ensure good health and safety of the dabbawalas, as till now they were delivering tiffins by taking precautionary measures.
