Dabba wallahs: lifeline of Mumbai's working people (FEATURE) As part of the tiffin distribution process, every day the meals are picked up from commuters' homes in Mumbai long after the commuters have left for work, delivered to them on time, then picked up and delivered home before the commuters return.



Each tiffin carrier has, painted on its top, a number of symbols that identify where the carrier was picked up, the originating and destination stations and the address to which it is to be delivered.



After the tiffin carriers are picked up, they are taken to the nearest railway station, where they are sorted according to the destination station.
