In India, traffic jams are nothing new, often blamed on rallies, processions, or monsoon downpours. But in Gujarat’s Vadodara, commuters were left baffled when chaos on the roads had nothing to do with politics or weather. Instead, it was sparked by something far more unexpected when a woman staged a protest over two missing panipuris.
The Unusual Protest
A middle-aged woman created a stir near Sursagar Lake after claiming she was cheated by a street vendor. She alleged that she paid Rs 20 for six golgappas but was served only four. Feeling wronged, she sat in the middle of the road in protest, demanding the “missing two puris.”

Chaos on the Streets
Passersby were left stunned as the woman refused to budge. Traffic slowed to a crawl as vehicles carefully tried to move around her. Onlookers quickly pulled out their phones, and videos of the scene spread like wildfire on social media.
The woman’s dramatic dharna soon turned emotional. When the police arrived, she broke into tears and pleaded with the officers to ensure she got her rightful six puris for her money.
Police Intervention
For hours, the unusual standoff disrupted traffic in the busy area. The police eventually stepped in, calming the woman and escorting her off the road. The incident ended without further chaos, though whether she ever got her extra two panipuris remains a mystery.
A Viral Moment
The quirky protest has since gone viral, with netizens amused at how a handful of street food caused such a major traffic jam. While some laughed at the woman’s stubbornness, others pointed out the rising frustration people feel about fairness, even when it comes to panipuri.
