As Tamil Nadu is struggling to impose a ban on Jallikattu, the bull-taming sport played around the Pongal festival every year, people in Andhra Pradesh are boldly defying a court order to stop cockfighting, another traditional recreation, during Sankranti.
In spite of the Hyderabad High Court’s order last month, upholding the ban on the blood sport in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, reports said roosters were on sale on e-commerce platform OLX for exorbitant sums of money. OLX removed the advertisements after the matter was brought to the company’s attention and claimed its executives are combing the portal to excise any new posts.
