Tamil Nadu Farmers Consume Waste in Protest

In Tamil Nadu, more than a hundred farmers protested in front of the district collectorate office.

They were very upset because they feel the government isn't listening to their problems.

The farmers marked their bodies with special ash and even ate something very dirty to show how desperate they are.

Their leader, Ayyakannu, said that the government promised to help them a lot, but didn't keep those promises.

They also said that the police stopped them from talking to the Prime Minister.

The farmers want the government to forgive their loans, give them fair prices for their crops, and help them in other ways.
