# Satkar Caterers exits Jogeshwari hospital canteen over compliance dispute 2026-08-15T15:49:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Satkar Caterers withdrew from the canteen at the Hindu Hruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Hospital in Jogeshwari East on August 3, citing inability to complete statutory licence requirements including FSSAI, health and fire permissions. The Free Press Journal reports the caterer told the hospital it was leaving with immediate effect. A Satkar Caterers representative said the key issue was the absence of a valid agreement with the BMC, without which they could not obtain the necessary licences. Hospital medical superintendent Dr Niranjan Kshirsagar disputed this, saying the caterer was asked to produce licences but was reluctant and ultimately left. A civic official alleged the caterer had occupied space without authorisation, possibly in connivance with a former hospital official, causing revenue loss to the BMC for four to five years. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: BMC, FDA, FSSAI, Jogeshwari Trauma Hospital, Satkar Caterers Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/satkar-caterers-exits-jogeshwari-hospital-canteen-over-compliance-dispute/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
