AHMEDABAD: The venue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's much discussed 'chai pe charcha' web broadcast - Iskcon Ganthiya tea shop - has been sealed since August 5.The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's estate department found the structure to be illegal and the cause of traffic clutter. On at least two occasions, AMC tax inspectors had visited the shop requesting the owners to produce approved building plans and ownership details. Iskcon Ganthiya featured pictures of Modi with earphones, engaging with people via giant screens. "The traffic issue was getting problematic, even though a parking zone was earmarked nearby," a senior AMC estate officer said. "The shop is located just opposite the Karnavati Club on the access lane to the service road."
