On Wednesday, Municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal directed the officials of the civic body to allow the setting up of food trucks in 50 locations in the city.
The slots to set up these food trucks in 50 locations will be auctioned on the same lines as slots for on-street parking is done in Mumbai.
BMC will provide some food trucks to women self-help groups.
A BMC official who attended the meeting said, “A detailed food truck policy will be rolled out. It will be selling cooked food and not vegetables and fruits. The finer details will be worked out. All food trucks will require an NOC from the traffic police and other departments like the fire brigade. We will also identify the location and fix timings for the food trucks as part of the policy.”
