Farmers brought down a drone by flying kites at Sambhu border
In an ingenious plan, protesting farmers at the Shambhu barrier flew hundreds of kites to prevent the Haryana Police from using drones to drop tear gas shells.
Bhupinder Singh, a farmer, said, “Youngsters brought kites to celebrate Basant at the protest site. As the wind was blowing southwards, our kites crossed the Shambhu barrier. Suddenly, we thought why not counter drones with kite strings. The move proved successful.”
The protesting farmers used wet gunny bags to lessen the impact of tear gas and makeshift fans to direct the smoke of shells towards the Haryana Police
