Jallikattu, a centuries-old bull-taming festival, is a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day in Tamil Nadu, which is organised annually in the first month of the year.
At 45 people were injured during the bull-taming festival Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu's Madurai district.
"Jallikattu", also known as "Eruthazhuvuthal", is a traditional bull-taming sport played in Tamil Nadu as part of the Pongal harvest festival.
According to the state government circular, only 150 spectators or 50 per cent of the seating capacity (whichever is less) will be allowed. The spectators must carry full vaccination certificate or negative RT-PCR test report not older than 48 hours.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has announced a cash reward of Rs 50,000 to anyone providing information about the person who tortured a prized 'jallikattu' bull to its death at Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu.
As the Jallikattu competition continues despite the Supreme Court ban, 31 participants on Wednesday were injured during the event in Madurai's Avaniyapuram. Meanwhile, 6 of them have been admitted to Rajaji Hospital in Madurai for treatment. This year, 700 bulls and 730 Bull Catchers are participating in it.
