Centre withdraws 2016 notification allowing Jallikattu
The Centre on Tuesday informed the Supreme Court that it has withdrawn its 2016 notification allowing Jallikattu ahead of the Pongal festival, in view of fresh Tamil Nadu Assembly legislation on the bull-taming sport. This comes days ahead of the Supreme Court ruling on petitions by Animal Welfare Board of India and PETA India challenging the lifting of Jallikattu ban.
