Protesting sugarcane farmers fear being elbowed out of public view

The farmers from the Tarai have been holding a sit-in to demand payment for their crops sold to sugar mills.

Sugarcane farmer Shyam Babu Sah from Sarlahi gets up early in the morning and joins the sit-in at Maitighar Mandala like he has been doing everyday for nearly two weeks. He and dozens of other farmers from the Tarai have come to the nation's capital in desperation as sugar mills have not paid them for their sugarcane crops for years.
