Editor's Notes
MUMBAI BMC BUDGET HAS RISEN BY 513 PERCENT SINCE THE LAST DECADE
TREASURY HAS BEEN UNDERUSED BY 25 %
THOUGH THE PACE OF DEVELOPEMENT HAS INCREASED BUT DUE TO CORRUPTION THE PACE HAS NOT BEEN UP TO THE MARK
BMC BEING ONE OF THE RICHEST IN ASIA. THE ROADS BUILT
ERE WERE NOT STRETCHED TO NOOKS AND CORNERS
THERE HAVE BEEN MANYB CHANGES IN SHIV SENA LIKE WHEN BAL THACKEREY WAS ALIVE SHIV SENA DOMINATED THE SEATS OF BMC
AND NOW IT IS BEING DOMINATED BY THE BJP
Thinking: Many people, specially from upper and upper middle classes, avoid street food because of hygiene issues. Restaurants and hotels have capitalised on this phenomenon by offering street food to their clientele.
Illegal to legal: A large number of hawkers trade illegally, without mandatory permits from the local municipality, by bribing officials.Drives to evict hawkers are regularly held, though the hawkers return after a short period of time. Equipment and other goods seized from illegal hawkers are returned by the municipality after the hawker pays a fine.In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled in a case against illegal hawking by asking the municipality to demarcate 230 areas in the city as legal hawking zones, a number that was later increased to 1700 areas; this is still to be implemented.A news report in 2009 claimed that no hawking licenses had been issued in Mumbai for 20 years and that out of the estimated 250,000 hawkers in the city only about 17,000 had a valid license.
Street food: It’s the distinctive part of food culture of mumbai where people of all the classes go and eat. Limited to chat, pani puri now you can enjoy pizza pasta.
Cuisines: mumbaikars are very passionate about their local cuisines. Since the city is so diverse, a lot of cuisines have been adopted and transformed into mouthwatering dishes that are now considered unique to mumbai. Like- maharashtrian food, mughlai, continental,european etc
Taste of people: with the High population, people have develope different taste in food.
Frequency: frequency of people eating out has increased as the city is diverse like ( students coming from different states , working people have increased.
Healthy people: Now-a days people are changing their habit and switching to health food.
Night life: as mumbai is called city of dreams, but 10-12 years ago there were very few night clubs but now mumbai is also known for its night life and because of that many bars, hookah lounges, clubs, have came up which is open till 3 am. Many restaurant owner are acquiring the license of to operate hookah bars.
