New Delhi: Grabbing eyeballs with their novel way of protÂest, Tamil Nadu farmers on Saturday drank urine in another desperate bid to draw the government's attention towards their plight.
Over last 39 days, they have shaved half of their moustache and head, kept mice and snakes in their mouth, conducted mock funerals, stripÂped, flogged themselves and carried skulls of other farmers, who had committed suicide due to debt pressure.
The farmers, whose protest entered the 40th day on Saturday, have been demanding a loan waiver, a revised drought relief package and better support prices for their produce.
