Jallikattu ordinance: Guv reaching Chennai today

January 21, 2017 13:16

Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, who holds additional charge of Tamil Nadu, is reaching Chennai today in the backdrop of the Centre clearing the state governments proposal to promulgate an ordinance to hold Jallikattu, the bull-taming sport banned by the Supreme Court.

Rao will land at Chennai around 4 pm, a Raj Bhavan official said.

The Tamil Nadu Cabinet is expected to clear the ordinance and recommend it to the Governor for promulgation.

The TN government had proposed to issue an ordinance to allow Jallikattu.

Since the subject falls in the concurrent list of the Constitution, it is mandatory to get a nod from the Centre. --PTI
