Pongal 2017

Bus services returned to normal in Tamil Nadu today after transport workers withdrew their eight-day-old strike over wage related issues.

Facebook said Jallikattu, the traditional bull-taming sport played in Tamil Nadu as part of the Pongal harvest festival, was the second most trending topic in the country.

At least seven people have been detained in rural Madurai in Tamil Nadu for organising the bull-taming festival, Jallikattu, in defiance of the Supreme Court ban.

People decorated their homes with mango leaves and performed poojas to Sun God as they celebrated the harvest festival of Pongal today.

As the chorus for an ordinance to hold the banned bull-taming sport Jallikattu this week grows louder in Tamil Nadu, animal rights groups today wrote to President Pranab Mukherjee and the Centre, arguing against any such possible move.
