What the notifications do
The Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries Department published two government orders in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, No. 174, dated 16 May 2018. They identify limited periods during which Erudhu Vidum Vizha and Jallikattu may be conducted at specified places.
The notifications rely on the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, as amended by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 2017.
Erudhu Vidum Vizha
G.O. (D) No. 189, Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (AH3), dated 16 May 2018, states that Erudhu Vidum Vizha may be conducted from 17 May to 31 May 2018 at the specified places.
The supplied text shows the following village and taluk entries:
- Umayappa Naickanoor, Vaniyambadi Taluk.
- Periya Palampakkam, Vellore Taluk.
These appear as serial numbers 2 and 3. The supplied text does not include the entry for serial number 1, so it does not provide the complete list attached to the notification.
Jallikattu
G.O. (D) No. 190, Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (AH3), dated 16 May 2018, states that Jallikattu may be conducted from 20 May to 31 May 2018 at the place specified in the notification.
The supplied text includes the headings for the village and taluk but does not display the actual place name. The Jallikattu venue therefore cannot be identified from the supplied extract.

The two notifications concern organisers, participants, local authorities and members of the public connected with Erudhu Vidum Vizha or Jallikattu at the notified locations and during the stated periods.
For a property buyer or owner, the notifications do not change land ownership, classification, permitted land use, planning status or registration requirements. Their relevance is limited to the notified animal events and their May 2018 date windows.
