The government has issued a notification permitting hori habba, a folk game similar to jallikattu. The game is played with bulls in Tamil Nadu and Dakshina Kannada district, and the government has imposed some conditions to permit it. Earlier, the district administration had denied permission and many complaints had been registered against organisers. Many rural people and organisers have been pressuring the government to allow such events. The government order permits 18 conditions, including that the event should take place in below 38 degrees Celsius, that the track should be 100 meters long and 75 meters wide, and that animals should not be harassed.
