Phulbani: The Maoists have called for a 24-hour bandh in Kandhamal district on Thursday (May 24) to protest against the death of five rebels in the recent police encounters.

Through posters put up at different places in Gatangi and Baliguda on Wednesday, the Kandhamal-Kalahandi-Boudh-Nayagarh (KKBN) division of CPI (Maoist) have condemned the killings during combing operations by police and Special Operation Group (SOG) personnel in Sudukumpa forest near Golanki village in the district, eight days ago.
The bandh will also be observed in Kalahandi, Boudh and Nayagarh, the posters added.
The rebels also blocked major roads near Pokharibandha and Baliguda by placing tree branches, disrupting vehicular traffic on the route.
Following the incident, security has been heightened in the region to prevent any untoward incident.
