Affidavit blames it on Coke

KOCHI, MARCH 22 . The Department of Ground Water that monitored the water levels in and around the Coca-Cola plant in Plachimada found that the decline in the level in several wells and the drying up of a few wells were due to excess drawing of groundwater by the company, according to an affidavit filed by the Government before the Kerala High Court.

The affidavit was filed in response to a writ petition filed by the company challenging the Government order prohibiting it from drawing water from its wells till the onset of monsoon.
