For Cauvery Board, Tamil Nadu Farmers Partially Bury Themselves In Sand | Read

Continuing their protest for immediate setting up of the Cauvery Management Board (CMB), as directed by the Supreme Court, a group of farmers in Tamil Nadu's Trichy partially buried themselves in the sand on the banks of Cauvery river. Carrying skulls and garlands around their necks, the farmers battled the blazing sun as they enveloped themselves in the hot sand. The police detained P Ayyakannu, who became the face of farmers protest in Delhi last year, and other protesting farmers.
