Mumbai sandwichwalas in a jam due to bakery brawl

Family dispute disrupts supply of the bread that’s the toast of the town
For nearly a week now, Mumbai’s famed sandwich sellers have been entreating an iconic city-based family with a silent prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread.”

The object of their yeasty yearnings is an Irani family, which owns Western India Bakers (Wibs), makers of a brand of bread that is — without risk of exaggeration — the ‘toast’ of the town.

But all is not well in the crusty world of the Iranis. Wibs has ceased its sales since September 19, and there were media reports on Tuesday that a family dispute threatens to put asunder the partnership that has been firing up the ovens since 1973 to keep Mumbaikars supplied with their daily dose of starch.
