MADURAI: Bull owners in Madurai on Friday urged the district administration to issue clear guidelines on fitness certificates for jallikattu bulls after several were denied certification by a veterinary hospital, ahead of private bull-taming events in the district.
The confusion regarding certification arose after a viral video showed a female veterinary doctor at the Oomachikulam veterinary hospital refusing to issue fitness certificates, stating that, as per government orders, only one bull from each assembly constituency would receive approval. This led to a heated argument between the doctor and bull owners, who sought the intervention of Chief Minister MK Stalin.
