New Delhi, Apr 23 (IBNS): Tamil Nadu farmers, who have been protesting at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar for the last 39 days, called off their strike following assurance from state Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami, media reports said on Sunday.

Palaniswami  on Sunday met the farmers here.

He urged them to end their protests.

In order to grab the attention of the Prime Minister towards their demands, protesting farmers drank urine, on Saturday, as per media reports.

The farmers acted according to their earlier warning that they would be compelled to drink their own urine, if their demands were not fulfilled.

They had been protesting for the last 39 days against the central government, over the demands of loan waive and better drought relief packages.

The protesting farmers were seen to perform several acts like keeping snake in the mouth and also stripped outside the resident of the Prime Minister in early April.
