Five men, who were injured during the three jallikattu events held in Madurai last week, are still undergoing treatment at the Government Rajaji Hospital (GRH). Among the five, Dhavidan, 55, suffered severe injury in the small intestine after being gored by a bull during the Alanganallur jallikattu and underwent surgery.
In the remaining four cases, three men had suffered serious chest injuries and one suffered severe injury in the leg.
The hospital administration maintained that all those who were admitted were stable.
It may be recalled that in Avaniyapuram (January 15), Palamedu (January 16) and Alanganallur (January
17) jallikattu events – a total of 105 people including bull tamers and spectators – suffered injuries, of which 32, who suffered relatively more serious injuries were referred to the GRH for tertiary care.
Dean in-charge of GRH, Dr Dr S Shanmugasundaram said that compared to previous year, the number of people who suffered serious injuries during jallikattu this year was very less.
He said that among those referred, five suffered chest injuries and were fitted with inter-costal drainage (ICD) tube, Dhavidan suffered two holes in the small intestine and surgery was performed and one more suffered fracture below the left knee.
“Others suffered only trivial injuries, minor tears etc., and have been discharged. Two of the five who have been fitted with ICD tube have also been discharged,” he told TOI.
