Protesting TN farmers try climbing mobile tower in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar

Few farmers from Tamil Nadu, including a woman, on Wednesday tried to climb onto a mobile tower as they protested at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over demands of better prices for their crops and the river interlinking issue, officials said.

Scores of Tamil Nadu farmers gathered at Jantar Mantar, some of who tried to climb nearby trees and a mobile tower, police said.

Police used a fire brigade crane to bring one of the protesting farmers back to the ground from the mobile tower, they said.
