Cases against anti-Coke activists withdrawn

Thiruvananthapuram: The State Government has decided to withdraw all cases registered against anti-Coke activists at Plachimada in Palakkad, official sources said on Saturday.

Around 200 persons were listed as accused in six cases under two police stations in connection with the local people's agitation against the alleged over-exploitation of water by the Coca-Cola plant at Plachimada.

The cases were registered in Chittoor and Puthunagaram police stations. The Anti-Coke Solidarity Council had recently petitioned Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan to withdraw cases registered against their activists. - - PTI
