How the Tamil media is covering farmers’ protest in New Delhi

100 farmers from Tamil Nadu are camping out in Jantar Mantar demanding that the government take note of their plight. As the state faces a severe drought, crops have been failing and more than 200 farmers have committed suicide. Although largely ignored by the national media, the Tamil press has some coverage of the protest that is gaining momentum on social media among local youth. Along with issues like the Neduvasal hydrocarbon project and the jallikattu issue earlier this year, the famers’ protest has captured the imagination of many.
