“Kambala is a must and should be held. The government should bring an ordinance on it and pave the way to hold the traditional sport in the coastal region,” Yeddyurappa, a former Chief Minister, told reporters here.
Asked about a pending case in the Karnataka High Court, Yeddyurappa said he was optimistic that the court would lift the ban on Kambala. The court had passed an interim order last November, staying Kambala on a petition filed by PETA and the next hearing is on January 30.
