Snacking on spicy and tangy pani puris during monsoons might not be good for your health which is why Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) in Gujarat has decided to temporarily ban them for the rainy season.
This ban has been imposed after the surprise check on 50 pani puri sellers in the city by VMC officials. The check was conducted after receiving multiple reports about a rise in diarrhea and vomiting cases. Reportedly, the VMC officials have destroyed around 4000kg of puris and 3350kg of potato mash and other ingredients.

Though people are really appreciating the move as it was taken keeping their health in mind, many highlighted the poor sellers’ huge losses.
गरीब लोगों की रोजी रोटी छीनी गई है अगर बंद करवाना है तो फैक्ट्री बन्द करवाओ या बड़े बड़े होटल बन्द हो जहाँ बड़े बड़े होटल में भी गोल गप्पे रखे रहते है । ।

वही दुकानें बंद हुई है जो हाथ रेडी ठेला खोमचा लगाकर गोलगप्पे भेजता है
गोलगप्पा तो बड़ी-बड़ी फाइव स्टार होटलों सहित तमाम होटलों में मिलता है तो क्या प्रशासन की हिम्मत है होटलों पर भी छापेमारी करके गोलगप्पा बंद करवाना की जद्दोजहद पर नहीं
गरीब की मां सबकी भाभी

Pls note Golgappa sellers are daily earner. Admin’s job is to ensure they follow rules and maintain cleaniness & hygiene. Not banning source of poors’ income. Selling Golgappa in monsoon is not illegal. Sri @narendramodi @PMOIndia Sri @vijayrupanibjp @CMOGuj https://t.co/3xLHrnjmJm

That means source of water/potato etc. is contaminated.
Golgappa is fine.
It is the duty of Local Health food safety Department / Inspector to check Hygienic preparation process.
Banning is not the solution.— Ajay Joe (@joedelhi) July 28, 2018
