The kambla committee of South Kanara and Udupi had filed an appeal in the high court questioning the order of the Dty Commissioner banning kambla.

The uncertainty on kambla remained as the Apex court had passed an order to ban the sports as, but the state government and the local representatives were giving different statements. Earlier the ban was imposed as per the appeal made by animal welfare board.

Mangaluru: District Dpty Commissioner handed over the copies of Supreme Court banning Kambla (racing of bulls) on Friday November 21. Animal welfare organizations have strongly opposed the practice of racing the cattle in the name of Kambla and hitting them with canes.
