    Sandwizzaa’s cRAVE party toasts 40 years of flavour

    MUMBAI: This World Sandwich Day, Mumbai’s beloved sandwich brand Sandwizzaa is serving more than just its signature chutneys. The city’s iconic pure-veg chain is celebrating with a full-on cRAVE Party, a flavour-packed bash that fuses food, music, and Mumbai’s unmistakable vibe.

    Hosted at Sandwizzaa’s flagship outlet in Vile Parle (East), the invite-only celebration is a nod to the global trend of “sandwich raves,” where food meets festivity. For loyal fans, it’s a delicious mix of nostalgia and novelty, topped with that signature Sandwizzaa freshness.

    The event also kicks off the brand’s 40th anniversary journey. From a humble sandwich shop to 20 bustling outlets across the city, Sandwizzaa has built an empire one chutney-layered bite at a time. Known for its inventive vegetarian creations and crowd-favourite classics, it remains a cornerstone of Mumbai’s fast-food culture.

    “We wanted to celebrate World Sandwich Day in a way only Sandwizzaa can, with flavour, energy, and the people who made this journey possible,” said Sandwizzaa founder Pankaj Sharma. “The cRAVE Party is our thank-you to Mumbai as we step into our 40th year.”

    As the world raises a toast to its favourite handheld meal, Sandwizzaa’s cRAVE Party reminds Mumbai why a good sandwich never goes out of style, especially when it’s made with a little love and a lot of chutney.

    Viacom office building stormed by protesters

    MUMBAI: One of Viacom18’s Vile Parle office buildings was under the cosh as demonstrators entered the premises today as protests reached fever pitch in various parts of the city. The company’s office, which is just off the Western Express Highway, witnessed a march of angry protesters. The attendant police brought situation under control and nobody was hurt in the incident. Vehicles were forced to drive on the wrong side on the highway as they were turned back from main signal adjacent to the office.

    “Nothing untoward happened. The police stepped in at the right time and got things under control. Several employees were working from home anyway and quite a few left after the incident,” said a source. There was no property damage either.

    Around the city, BEST buses and auto rickshaws were wantonly stopped with passengers even being bullied into getting off in sporadic instances. Train operations were also affected.

    Maharashtra remains on edge after the anniversary of a battle fought 200 years ago between the British army, aided by Dalits, and the Peshwas brought to the fore simmering caste tensions.
