With the lifting of the night curfew in the Dakshina Kannada district, Kambala, the traditional sport of Tulunadu, is set to resume the remaining races of the 2021-22 season.Â
Kambalas (buffalo race in marshy fields) were suspended last month due to the Covid-19 guidelines. The DK district Kambala Samiti met on Monday and fixed the revised dates for the Kambalas, Samiti president Yermal Rohit Hegde said.Â
   Â
The Kambala season had started on December 5 last and, the committee had announced dates for holding 18 Kambalas. Kambala's at Hokkadigoly, Moodbidri, Miyyar, Kakkepadavu and Mulky have already been held.Â
   Â
The events were suspended once the Covid-19 guidelines were enforced. The remaining Kambalas will be held as per the guidelines of the district administration from February 5, Hegde said.
   Â
The remaining races will start with Baradi Beedu Kambala on February 5 and end with Venoor Kambala on April 16. The Samiti is awaiting permission from the district administration to hold the events, he said.Â
