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!

Feb 26: The Tamil Nadu government on Tuesday claimed that it prevented Karnataka from discussing the contentious Mekedatu reservoir issue at the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) meeting held in New Delhi.

Besides the representatives of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka at the fifth meeting of CWMA, presided over by Central Water Commission Chairman R K Jain, officials of Kerala and Puducherry also participated.

CWMA member and TN PWD Secretary K Manivasan told reporters after the meeting that the state government prevented Karnataka from discussing the dam issue by pointing out the pending petitions in the Supreme Court against the project filed by the E Palaniswami government.

"We have told participants of the meeting that Mekedatu reservoir will be against the interests of Tamil Nadu and its farmers. Our consistent stand is that it should not be built at any cost. Finally the issue was not discussed in the meeting," Manivasan said.

The Mekedatu reservoir is proposed to be constructed by Karnataka across Cauvery river near Mekedatu, about 110 km from Bengaluru, in Kanakapura taluk.

It was first proposed along with Shivanasamudra hydro power project at Shimsa in 2003 with an intention to use the water for a hydro power station and supply drinking water to Bengaluru city. It was designed to store 67 tmc feet of water.

While Tamil Nadu is claiming that the construction of a balancing reservoir will disturb Cauvery water flow to the state affecting irrigation, Karnataka says the project is basically designed to take care of the drinking water needs of Bengaluru after releasing water to Tamil Nadu as per the quantum specified by the Cauvery water disputes tribunal.
