Namakkal: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Tuesday, January 27, announced providing Rs 10 lakh relief to bull tamers who die while embracing the animals in the Jallikattu arena, when his party comes to power.
Also, insurance cover will be provided on behalf of the state government to the tamers and bulls registered for the popular bull taming sport of Tamil Nadu, he said after inaugurating the Jallikattu event at Salapalayam in the district.
