Tamil Nadu traders will not sell foreign brand of soft drinks from 1 March

Tamil Nadu traders are taking a derision of not selling foreign brand of soft drinks from 1 March but switch over to Indian brands. Towards this end, they will devote the whole of February to educating traders and consumers about the shortcomings of these foreign brands.
The foreign brands do more harm than good to the body. Recently, one of the brands admitted that it was not suitable for children and that it contained certain harmful chemicals.
This has been reported in thehindu.com dated 25 January 2017.

During the recent protest by students demanding conduct of jallikattu, many of the youngsters sought a ban on these soft drinks because these draw our groundwater and take the profits outside the country. Hence, this campaign to ban foreign branded soft drinks. Restaurants will also be approached to refrain from selling these brands.
Moreover, a particular brand of milk manufactured by an MNC is also under the scanner - a hotelier has indicated that he would shift over to Indian brands.
