Jaipur: Accusing Coca-Cola of exploiting groundwater in the area, an NGO plans to garland truck drivers carrying the soft drink major's products and request them to take their consignments back to a plant near Jaipur.

"Thousands of bottles branded with Coca-Cola are loaded every day from the Kaladera plant but despite a number of agitations in the past, the company has not taken any corrective measures to check over-exploitation of groundwater," said Sawai Singh, convenor of the NGO Rajasthan Smagra Seva.

He said there would be no violence as the organisation's members are devoted to Gandhigiri, a term made popular by the film Lage Raho Munnabhai.

The NGO has also held a series of puppet shows on Gandhian philosophy and non-violence at schools in and around Kaladera town, Singh said.
