Ahmedabad tea stall where Modi held 'Chai pe Charcha' shuts down

Municipal authorities in Ahmedabad have shut down a snacks outlet that grabbed national headlines two years ago when it hosted the first of then prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's popular poll campaign outreach programme, Chai pe Charcha.

Iskon Ganthia is part of a cluster of eight snack shops on the busy Sarkhej-Gandhinagar highway that was sealed last week. Authorities say the shops were operating without adequate parking spaces and the huge rush of customers would frequently trigger chaos on the highway.
