Coca-Cola is establishing operations in the Tirunelveli district and intends to draw 9000 litres of water per day from the Tamirabarani river, which is the main water source for Tirunelveli, Kovilpatti and Sattur. In addition to massive water depletion, the proposed plant will cause large-scale pollution of agricultural lands. The Communist Part of India (Marxist-Leninist — Liberation) has initiated a campaign against the company and held a July 8 protest march.
