Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan on Saturday promised legal support to activists protesting against the alleged over-exploitation of water resources at a Coca-Cola plant.
"The two groups of anti-Coke protesters, after a joint meeting with us, have agreed that they would call off their relay hunger strike launched in April after I assured them that my government would provide legal support in the cases that they have filed against Coca-Cola," Achuthanandan told reporters here, after meeting with protesters.
Achuthanandan had called them for a discussion after the activists threatened to convert their relay hunger strike into an indefinite hunger strike.
The protesters are fighting four cases in the Supreme Court against the soft drink company's plant at Plachimada in Palakkad district.
