Madurai City Police have given instructions that only tamers and bull owners who have been issued passes with photo-identity cards would be permitted to the jallikattu arena for the event to be held at Avaniyapuram on Monday.
In a statement, Commissioner of Police J. Loganathan said the tamers should also carry physical fitness certificate issued by medical officer along with the passes.
If the bull owners and the tamers are found to be in an inebriated state, they would not be allowed to enter the arena.
The bull owners should bring their bulls to Muthupatti junction via Vellaikal Road and Tirupparankundram.
The bull owner and one assistant would be allowed to take the bull to the venue through Mullai Nagar and Avaniyapuram police station to join in the queue after midnight of Sunday to proceed towards the jallikattu venue.
The police have advised the bull-owners not to carry knife or other sharp weapons to cut the nose rope of the bulls as the district administration has appointed a trained person to cut them.
The owners of houses along the jallikattu venue have been asked not to allow outsiders other than the family members into their house or terrace to witness the event. In case of any law and order problem arising out of the presence of outsiders, the house owners who had permitted them would face stringent action, the police warned.
