Tamil Nadu police foil attempts to conduct Jallikattu
Police on Sunday foiled attempts to conduct Jallikattu in southern districts of Tamil Nadu, detaining several people even as \'Mattu Pongal\', third day of the harvest festivities, was celebrated with fervour in the state.
Madurai : Police on Sunday foiled attempts to conduct Jallikattu in southern districts of Tamil Nadu, detaining several people even as 'Mattu Pongal', third day of the harvest festivities, was celebrated with fervour in the state. Amid protests against the ban on the bull-taming sport, police today warned of action against those violating the Supreme Court order on the sport, associated with Pongal festivities.
Madurai Superintendent of Police, Vijayendar S Bidari, denied reports that Jallikattu was conducted in the district. "Around 2,000 police personnel are keeping a vigil across the district. We have taken steps to provide security in the area," he said. Sufficient police force has been deployed in the district to prevent any untoward incidents, he said.
"Everyone should follow the (SC) order. Everybody should be aware that we will take action as per the law. People should cooperate," he said when it was pointed out that the sport is usually held on 'Kanum Pongal', the fourth and final day of Pongal festivities, at Alanganallur.
