After a nearly three-year-long ban, Jallikattu Cleared. Tamil Nadu CM Thanks Narendra Modi

The traditional bull taming sport jallikattu is set for a grand return in Tamil Nadu on Sunday with Governor Vidyasagar Rao on Saturday promulgating an ordinance in the face of massive protests that have paralysed the state for the last five days.

Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who announced the approval given by the Governor for the ordinance, will launch jallikattu



at Alanganallur in Madurai which is famous for conducting the rural sport, at 10 am.

Moving swiftly, the Centre on Friday night cleared the ordinance paving the way for Tamil Nadu government to promulgate it in an effort to end the protests. Rao, who is Governor of Maharashtra, holds Tamil Nadu as additional charge and reached Chennai in the evening to give his approval.
