Saroja Nagaraj and social activists, Prof. Kalachenne Gowda, Dhanajaya and Poornima presented "We Do Not Sell Adulterated Tea" plaques to the shop owners. Shilpa, a high school student tested tea samples on site to find out if they were adulterated. Samples of Tharanga tea found in three shops were found to have exceedingly high quantities of artificial colour. The entire stock of this tea was bought out to prevent the public from consuming it.
