Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers Mr.M.K. Alagiri's 59th birthday was celebrated in grand fashion in Tamil Nadu Saturday, with DMK cadres organising community feasts and blood donation camps and distributing tricycles and sewing machines to the handicapped and the poor.
Commissioning ‘modern toilet complexes’ in as many as 10 locations across the city for public use, Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers M.K. Alagiri conveyed his intentions to keep the ancient city clean and green.
Ahead of his 59th birthday celebrations on Saturday, Mr. Alagiri reaffirmed to serve the common man in all possible ways. “This is just a beginning. With the support of the people, the city will be given a new look,” he told reporters here on Friday.

Is Chennai Alanganallur Jallikattu a good sport still?
As a pure Chennaiite and being from Tamil Nadu, I always like about this sport for its roots back to the old traditional sport. Yes - I am talking about Jallikattu sport in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. This Jallikattu sport has been there for more than thousands of years ago.
To know offtrack about Chennai Jallikattu - check out Wikipedia article for Jallikattu.
There is a great collection by a tourist photographer oochappan, about whom I have written more about in a previous article. Check out his photos about Alanganallur photos for jallikattu. You will get every snapshot of it. Check out oochappan's Jallikattu coverage.
Another blog-mate has written an article about Jallikattu, which gives the blogger's experience about Jallikattu. That is true, even many average Chennaiite might not have seen Jallikattu in Alanganallur.
I have seen personally only once in Alanganallur inside the village. It was an awesome and scary experience. Also, my chennai brother has written about our experience previously.
Also, my chennai brother has written about our Chennai Pongal experience in our Chennai Home.
The point I am getting to is related to the video from NDTV. Media is all over being against Jallikattu and trying to stop this sport. I know this Jallikattu sport angers lot of Animal Lovers.
There are many foreigners coming to Chennai to view this sport. There is good revenue out of this sport to this village and to Chennai, Tamil Nadu and to India.
On top of all these, this is a very old tradition being continued and being practised for thousands of years. These are some of the actions which will take away the real flavour of Chennai. Do we want to loose the tradition of Chennai?
Every sport is dangerous and risky - do we stop playing those? There are even more adventurous and dangerous sports than this. Do we stop those sports? We still play those right?
I know one or two persons get killed and 30 or so people get injured. We cannot stop the sport for that. In fact, these days for getting the prize in this game has been eased out. If you hang with the bull in the bull fight, that is good enough. You don't have to completely bring down the bull.
Still it is being played in some parts of Spain and Mexico. Do they stop it? Some developed countries are still following adventurous sports and following tradition. Why do we go away from our tradition and adapt to western culture! Let us stick to our originality, we can reach top!!
Please do not stop this sport and that means you are taking away the flavor of Chennai and its tradition. I am thinking stopping/banning Jallikattu sport is equivalent to the fact of bringing down Chennai Meenakshi Temple, thinking that you can use the space in a better way in the centre of the town. Would you agree for that?
