The Minister is proud
Minister Murthy said: We have unleashed all the bulls within the stipulated time; Finished better. During the last regime, there were problems like impersonation and duplication of application in Jallikkattu competition and the protest was prosecuted. This time we ran two matches correctly without that problem.
Impersonated players will not be able to participate in the Alankanalluar Jallikkat. Chief Minister Stalin is unlikely to come to Alankanallur. The match will take place tomorrow under his blessing. Thus he said.
* 60-year-old Sundarambal, a VIP from Vandalur, Chennai, entered the gallery and entertained the dancers on stage.
* 13 players, nine owners, nine spectators and a policeman were injured during the match. Eleven people were taken to Madurai Government Hospital for further treatment.
Government work
Winner Prabhakaran said: I have been winning at Palamedu Jallikat for three years. They chose the 2nd prize instead of the first prize because the number of cows caught last year was incorrect. I refused to buy it. It is a pleasure to continue to win as 2020, 21, 22. The government should give jobs and recognition to the talents of the top three players. We continue to demand the government. The chief must nominate Stalin. Thus he said.
One killed
In Suriyur, near Thiruverumbur in Trichy district, a jallikkattu competition was held yesterday ahead of the cow festival.
Prizes such as gold coins were awarded to the owners of the bulls who won the competition and to the warriors who suppressed the bulls. Meenakshi Sundaram, 29, of Srirangam, who had brought the Jallikattu bull to participate in the competition, died after being hit by a cow. More than 25 people were injured, including ADMK, Pramukar Raja, 37, and Andimadam policeman Kalaivanan, 32.
The three players who competed in the first round were also selected for the subsequent rounds. When the Revenue Department collected information about them, there was a discrepancy between the name on the application and the name of the players.
In the fourth round Ramachandran of Muduvarpatti played with a uniform registered in the name of the emperor, holding eight bulls. Chinnapatti Tamilarasan, who was fond of five bulls, was found wearing the uniform of Karthi from Muduvarpatti.
Following this, Minister Murthy conducted an inquiry into the soldiers. Both were disqualified and sent home with a warning. It was also discovered that different players wore the same uniform for successive rounds and were disqualified.
