Constitute panel: HC

KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Monday directed the state government to constitute an expert committee to study the groundwater consumption by Pepsico India Holdings in Palakkad.
The committee should look into aspects such as availability of water and the maximum quantity of water that could be extracted and file a report within three months. However, the court granted permission to the company to draw six lakh litres of water per day until the study report is submitted.
