New Delhi, June 4 (IBNS) Maggi Noodles, a popular brand across the country has faced a "15 day ban" in Delhi following an order by the government which asked Nestle India, the manufacturers to recall current stocks from the capital by that time and make available new stock.

The Indian army too has asked soldiers to avoid Maggi, reports said.
