Wearing a string of leaves around his waist and holding two skulls and the national flag, a man caused a flutter at the Collectorate here, staging a dharna for some time over his demand for patta (deed) for land.
Saravanan (40), with his eyebrows painted red and white staged a dharna for some time, demanding a patta in his mother's name, police said.
He decided on this form of protest after officials allegedly rejeted his repeated pleas for patta, they said.
