Indian Coca-Cola protest to go on

Protesters in Kerala, southern India, have vowed to continue their fight against a Coca-Cola plant despite a blow from a court order. The campaigners say the plant in the village of Plachimada dries up the water supply and emits toxic sludge. The US giant denies the claims and the state High Court on Wednesday asked village authorities to renew the company's licence...Pepsico is facing similar problems in a nearby village, Puduserry.
