Over 1500 villagers marched to the Coca-Cola company's bottling plant in Mehdiganj in Varanasi in India last Tuesday 1st April demanding that the bottling plant shut down immediately. Breaking a police barrier that attempted to keep the protesters 300 meters from the bottling plant, the villagers held a rally at the plant's gate accusing the company of creating severe water shortages in the area and polluting the water and land.

Read our response which was published as a “guest opinion” in the Economic Times.
