Here’s a bad news for residents of Vadodara. The municipal corporation of the Gujarat town has imposed a temporary ban on the sale of panipuris, also called golgappas, because of the unhygienic method of its preparation.
The move comes during the monsoon season when people are susceptible to diseases. The civic body said that the consumption of panipuris made in such unhygienic fashion was leading to the spread of diseases like typhoid, jaundice and food poisoning in Vadodara.
