From the recent controversy, fwg things are clear:
a) Cola companies have done nothing over the last 3 years to control the pesticide level in their drinks. They, perhaps, think, they can get away with whatever they do, being MNCs. b) It is very obvious the water they use is contamina- ted in most parts of India and they are getting undue exposure for no fault of their own. Perhaps, this problem is not being faced by them elsewhere in the world. c) If they want to continue doing business in India, they will have to first "treat" the water before starting the production to limit such pesticide residues. d) As expected, the cola companies are bringin press- ure thro' the back door by having the US Government drop hints that further investment may not come to India. I feel the Indian Government should not buckle under pressure as the health of an entire future generation is at stake.
