Chetna Sadadekar chetna. sadadekar@ mid- day. com WHILE both the civic body and the state government are trying to make Mumbai 24x7 a success, they seem to be on different pages when it comes to policies on the project. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( BMC) has drafted a Food Truck policy, which remains different from the guidelines given by the state.

While the state had allowed trucks to operate only between 10 pm and 6 am, BMC's draft has allowed timings under the Shops and Establishment Act, which allows 24x7 operations.


Executive health officer Padmaja Keskar said that the draft is currently with the BMC commissioner.
