Chennai: Tamil Nadu Government today informed the Madras High Court that they were not against holding Jallikattu, but if permission was granted to organise the bull taming sport at Nehru stadium in Chennai, there were chances that the venue may get damaged.
Nehru Stadium was built with international standards and if Jallikattu was allowed to be conducted at the stadium, there were chances that the venue may get damaged, Additional Government Pleader P Sanjay Gandhi submitted.
