India
pulls plug on Coca-Cola bottling plant over water worry
--------------
A
Coca-Cola bottling plant has been ordered to close in northern India after local
farmers blamed it for using too much water, creating fresh headaches for the
world’s biggest soft-drink maker in one of its most important markets.
Authorities withdrew consent for the Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages plant in the
state of Uttar Pradesh, where ground-water levels have been critical for more
than a decade, according to the government.
印度关闭一家可口可乐工厂

由于被当地农民投诉用水过多，印度北部一家可口可乐(Coca-Cola)装瓶厂被勒令关闭，这给世界最大软饮料厂商在其最重要的市场之一提出了新的难题。印度政府表示，主管部门吊销了印度斯坦可口可乐饮料公司(Hindustan Coca-Cola
Beverages)北方邦工厂的生产许可证。北方邦的地下水十多年来一直处于危急水平。
