South Mumbai’s popular eatery, Bachelorr’s, is in the dock as the police want it demolished at the earliest owing to the ‘nuisance caused to traffic and citizens by vehicles parked in front of it’. The police have written to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to cancel all licences to the establishment and remove the structure.

The cops have cited traffic congestion caused by the eatery on NS Road, a part of Marine Drive promenade, which is also a VIP route for politicians, bureaucrats, and delegates. The police claim that parking in front of the eatery is dangerous from the point of view of traffic as well as security. Surprisingly, the owners of the eatery have no idea of the recent development and claimed to have learnt about it only from this correspondent.

Bachelorr’s was founded in 1932 by one Omprakash and has remained a popular destination for fast-food enthusiasts and visitors to chowpatty. The eatery is famous for its milkshakes, sandwiches and pizzas. The eatery is now maintained by the third generation, but this gathering point of food enthusiasts may likely face the BMC’s axe soon.
