Mangaluru: The 17th edition of “Koti-Chennaya Jodukere Kambala” was inaugurated by chief minister B S Yediyurappa at Ontikere in Moodbidri on Wednesday, December 25.
The event which was originally scheduled to be held on December 21 was postponed on account of the prohibitory orders following the violence during anti-CAA protests in Mangaluru.
Addressing the gathering Yediyurappa said that he did not notice any kind of cruelty meted out to the Kambala buffaloes, as alleged by people/organisations seeking a ban on the annually-held traditional folk sport. The Kambala buffalo are being loved unconditionally by their owners, he observed.
He also assured that the state government would preserve Kambala.
Earlier the chief minister unveiled the “Rani Abbakka” statue.
Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai, district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary, Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh and others were present on the occasion.
