At that time the owners of the concerned establishment had promised to change the photograph of Shri Ganesh appearing on the wrappers of their products. Accordingly, Mr. Manohar Ukamani, the owner of Megha Foods from Thane, has handed over revised design of the wrapper to Mr. Satish Kocharekar of HJS.
