jallikattu event
near Neelambur bypass at Chettipalayam on Sunday with the participation of
800 bulls
and 500 tamers.

Prior to the event, the
bull tamers
took an oath administered by the district collector. The sporting event began with the release of the Karivaratharaja Perumal temple bull from the 'Vaadivasal', followed by others in sequence. Bulls were brought from various districts, including Madurai, Pudukottai, Trichy, Salem, Thanjavur, Dindigul, Theni, Ramanathapuram, and Coimbatore.

Most of the tamers were from Madurai and neighbouring districts. Both the bulls and the tamers underwent medical checks before the event. The tamers participated in batches, with 50 tamers allowed into the arena for each round, which lasted an hour. Those who successfully tamed bulls qualified for the final round.
A wide range of prizes were given to the winners, including gold coins, steel cots, bureaus, and utensils. Women who brought their bulls to the arena were cheered by the spectators and the organising committee.
The event left more than 50 bull tamers injured, but they were treated as outpatients on the spot.
Abisithar from Sivaganga district, who tamed 21 bulls, won the first prize — a car. Mani from Madurai, who tamed 18 bulls, secured second place and received a two-wheeler. Bala from Virudhunagar, who tamed 15 bulls, came third and was awarded an electric scooter.
The title for the best bull went to the Virudhunagar Karuppaiah Konar bull, which was awarded a car.

80 vet graduates in limbo: Punjab Council cancels registrations over college recognition issue
BATHINDA: Eighty students completed five year Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) from government college of veterinary science Rampura Phool in March 2025, and now Punjab state veterinary council has found that the college affiliated with Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), is not recognised with the veterinary council of India (VCI) and the college is not included in Schedule-I of the Indian Veterinary council act. The council have stated that the registration of all the graduates stands cancelled with immediate effect and have directed the graduates to surrender their registration certificates before July 3 and failure to return registration certificates shall lead to legal proceedings against them. The graduates are in shock upon getting the notice. As per the public notice issued by Punjab state veterinary council the fresh registration will be allowed only after the said college is included in Schedule-I of the VCI and from the date of such notification. The graduates say they have completed the five year course and only now has it been revealed that the college is not recognised. They should have been told about it before taking admission, and they would have taken admission in some other colleges. Now, they have spent five long years in pursuing the course and have paid the requisite fee to find they are at the crossroads. Punjab state veterinary council registrar Dr Ranjeev Bali when contacted said that the public notice has been issued upon finding the college is not recognised by VCI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Shaping Energy Transition at Siemens Energy Siemens Energy Read More Undo The fresh graduates who have completed the course have been asked to surrender the registration certificates. Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Vice Chancellor Dr Jatinderpal Singh Gill and Registrar Dr Suresh Kumasr Sharma when contacted told TOI that the issue is about issuance of notification about recognition to the institution for issuing the final degree even as the recognition was granted step by step to complete four years of the course. A team from VCI visited the college in the month of February 2025, just days before the five year course was to be completed. The team recommended to Union Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying to grant recognition and admit in Schedule-I of Indian veterinary council act. The ministry raised certain points and wrote to VCI about it. The VCI sent the communication about points raised by the ministry with us and the university is under process to address those points and clarifications. The university is hopeful to get the recognition soon but till the recognition is not granted, the graduates could not do the practice or apply for job as per the provisions of the act. The university is in regular touch with the authorities.
