Puri,6th Aug 2025: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has announced a 6-hour bandh in Puri on August 7 (Wednesday), from 6 AM to 12 Noon, in protest over the death of the Balanga victim.

Speaking on the matter, Puri district BJD President Umakanta Samantaray warned that the agitation will continue if the truth is not revealed and justice is delayed.
