Intro:मुंबई ।
मुंबईत काम करणाऱ्या चाकरमान्यांना 12 आणि 13 जुलै डबेवाल्यांची सेवा मिळू शकणार नाही. आषाढी एकादशीनिमित्त पांडुरंगाचे दर्शन घेण्यासाठी डबेवाले दोन दिवसांची सुट्टी घेणार आहेत. डबेवाले हे मोठ्या प्रमाणात वारकरी संप्रदायातील असल्यामुळे आषाढी आणि कार्तिक एकादशी या दोन एकादशी त्यांच्यासाठी महत्वाच्या असतात. कार्तिक एकादशीला ते आळंदीला ज्ञानेश्वर माऊलीच्या दर्शनाला जातात आणि आषाढी एकादशीला पंढरपूरला पांडुरंगाच्या दर्शनाला जातात. त्यामुळे या दिवसांत ते सुट्टी घेणार आहेत.
Body:पंढरपूर येथे डबेवाल्यांची धर्मशाळा आहे. या धर्मशाळेत जेवढे वारकरी मुक्कामास येतात, त्या सर्वांची विनामूल्य राहण्याची व भोजनाची सोय डबेवाल्यांकडून यावर्षीही केली गेली आहे. त्यामुळे येत्या शुक्रवार व शनिवारी मुंबईत डबे पोहोचविण्याची सेवा बंद ठेवण्यात येणार असल्याची माहिती मुंबई डबेवाला संघटनेचे अध्यक्ष उल्हास मुके यांनी दिली आहे. दरम्यान, सोमवार, 15 जुलैपासून सेवा सुरळीतपणे चालू राहील, असे मुके यांनी स्पष्ट केले.Conclusion:
