Odisha bandh tomorrow: Will school, colleges remain closed? Check what's open, what's shut

The Odisha Congress has called for a statewide bandh on Thursday with raising a series of demands including resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, withdrawal of the MMDR Bill, and the resignation of the state School and Mass Education Minister over alleged errors in textbooks. Along with Congress, many non-BJP parties such as CPI, CPI(M), CPI(ML), NCP, Forward Bloc, Samajwadi Party, RJD and JMM, are likely to extend support to the bandh. In this regard, Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Bhakta Charan Das had announced the bandh in Bhubaneswar on September 29.
