The Southern Railway for the first time during the past couple of days did not cancel any train fully, though partial cancellations and rescheduling and diversion of trains were announced.

On Monday, police resorted to the forcible removal of youth protesting for Jallikattu which in turn resulted in the large scale violence here.

Commissioner of Police Chennai S George on Monday told reporters that anti-national forces had infiltrated the protest and hence the police action.

In other parts of the state, protesters were dispersed by the police.

In the evening, the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a law legalising Jallikattu.

The local community at Alanganallur in Madurai announced their decision to hold Jallikattu on February 1.
