Tensionprevailed in Vadavalam village in Pudukottai district as some villagersallegedly pelted the police with stones.

Defyingthe Supreme Court ban on conducting jallikattu, a bull taming sport, organisersin some interior villages went ahead with the event on Sunday challenging thedistrict administration and police to take action.

In a fewplaces, instead of the bull taming sport, organisers conducted ‘eruthattam’(bull chase).

Tensionprevailed in Vadavalam village in Pudukottai district as some villagersallegedly pelted the police with stones for preventing them from conductingjallikattu.

The villagers allegedly brought bulls to the local temple under thepretext of offering worship but tried to use them to organise jallikattu.

In Lalgudiin Tiruchi too a few bulls were let loose after being brought to a temple. But locals claimed that these bulls were not tamed and hence the ban on jallikattu was not technically violated. In various villages in Omalur block in Salemdistrict, ‘eruthattam’ was held ignoring appeals by the district administrationon the grounds that the animals are not harmed.

InKrishnagiri district, two newspaper camerapersons and a videographer of a Tamilsatellite television news channel were assaulted by locals when they attemptedto capture visuals of eruthattam organised in Gidampatty on Sunday.

It is the duty of the brahmins to find out proof from Our puranas/upanishads that jallikattu is part of kshatriya tradition; I know there is a upanishad which states about karagattam; Like that if we are able to find the pramaanam, we can justify that it is kshathriya game

In a few places Jallikkattu was organised with the change of name‘ eruthattam’ (bull chase) to evade arrest.
To the police, the organisers explained that it is a different sport.
Police have got convinced with the explanation!!

Despite the Supreme Court's controversial stay on Jallikattu a couple of days before Pongal, a town in Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu conducted the sport on Sunday.

A couple of people travelling to Bengaluru said that they spotted a huge crowd near Saravana Bhavan in Krishnagiri, on NH7 highway on their way back from Tamil Nadu.

"We were two of us driving down. Around 1:30 pm, when we reached Krishnagiri, we saw a huge crowd surrounding the ground opposite Saravana Bhavan. We saw that there were about 30 boys, all of them between 13 to 16 years of age chasing a bull that was tied to a long rope," the source said.
