Mangaluru, Sep 3: A college student in Mangaluru has claimed to have found a live worm inside a Pepsi float served to her in an ice cream parlour in the city. 

pepsiOn the evening of August 27, two journalism students from Nitte Institute of Communication decided to stop by for a drink after their freshers party at Icy Creams, an ice cream parlour in the city around 9:15 p.m.

They placed an order for Pepsi and as they were sipping on it, one of the students Ms. Carol Pinto found a creepy jelly like thing in her mouth. As she spit it out onto her hand the jelly like thing started wiggling on her finger.

Ms Pinto told Coastaldigest.com that she immediately rushed to the counter to call the manager while her friend made sure to warn other consumers not to buy the float drinks from the place.

While Ms. Pinto insisted the servers to call the manager, Mr Pavan an employee from the parlour responded in a very arrogant manner questioning her what will she do if he doesn't call the manager.

When the manager finally arrived the complaint was taken into consideration and he responded by blaming the Pepsi company for the worm being present in the drink.

He also said that everybody including himself consumes the drinks from the same dispenser on a daily basis and that it was cleaned just a couple days ago and that Icy Creams is not responsible for it.

The blame game continues at the cost of the health of consumers.

Bonda parle maarre .. Namma oorda namma neerda.

From childhood we learn that humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. But we wilfully and forcefully dump this co2 and high level of sugar into our body in the form of pepsi n coke. Dont play with your health for these latest trendy drinks. And now complimentary with worms!

Save your health by drinking fresh healthy drinks which in turn also benefit the local farmers who grow coconuts and fresh fruits for their livelihood.

Stop making Soft drink companies make money at the cost of our health!

Mangaluru, Jan 11: A large number of people from the Women India Movement on Saturday staged a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) here and raised slogans denouncing the newly enacted law.

Protestors were seen carrying placards that read, 'Stop diving India, Boycott CAA, NRC, NPR', 'We are humans, not criminals', 'Save India from fascism'.

"Today's youths are tomorrow's future. The present leaders are scared by the youths and are trying to wipe us out. They are scared of the students because they are raising their voices," a protestor told media.

"It started with the triple talaq, then the removal of Article 370 and Babri Masjid verdict. We Muslims kept quiet but now it is a question to our Constitution. We are not here as Muslims but as an Indian Citizen protesting against the cruelty of the BJP government," she added.

The protestor said the Central government is trying to make India a Hindu Rashtra by wiping out all other communities.

"This fascist government is trying to poison the minds of Hindus against the Muslims. After Muslims, there will be the Christian community and then other communities. The main motive of the government is to only keep Brahmins in India," added the protestor.

The newly-enacted law grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
