Chennai sources have stated that the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on Monday evening unanimously passed a Bill that will replace the Jallikattu ordinance and the protesters have assured the police that they will disperse from the Marina Beach once they get a signed copy of the ordinance.
Sources have stated that protests are called off in Ramanathapuram, Madurai's Tamukkam Grounds, Coimbatore VOC Park and Tiruchi's Anna Nagar link road. Protests against ban on Jallikattu on Monday turned violent as police evicted supporters of the bull sport on Chennai's Marina Beach and elsewhere in Tamil Nadu.
Protesters fought pitched battles with police at several pockets in Chennai, especially around the Marina Beach from where thousands were evicted, and blocked roads at various parts of the city.
Meanwhile the police have issued an advisory over
the public address system requesting the protesters at the Tamukkam grounds to
clear the place as it is an unlawful assembly. Stating that the protesters had
stocked petrol bombs and stones amidst the crowd, an officer issued the first
warning around 6 p.m., asking them to disperse.
