The ban on Jallikattu triggered mass protests across the state while thousands congregated on Marina beach, the Chennai landmark, in support of Jallikattu. Protestors in some places, however, amended their demand, now seeking what they believed would be a more permanent solution, and prevented Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam from inaugurating Madurai's iconic Alanganallur Jallikattu on Sunday morning.
The Indian state government of Tamil Nadu lifts its ban on the sport of Jallikattu, following five days of protests by demonstrators against the ban.
