Indian farmers use kites to down tear gas dropping drones

Farmers protesting in India used kites on Wednesday (February 21) to ensnare police drones used by security forces to fire tear gas on demonstrators in an attempt to disperse them. In addition to the kites, the farmers also had sling shots and flare-guns to fire against the drones. For the past week, thousands of farmers fought pitched battles with security forces some 200 km (125 miles) north of Delhi after police stopped their "Delhi Chalo" or "Let's go to Delhi" march to the capital to demand higher prices for their crops from the government.
