A farmers' outfit has called for a 12‑hour bandh across Odisha today, citing mistakes in school textbooks as the trigger for the protest. The organization urged authorities to rectify the identified errors, which it says compromise the quality of education for students.
The bandh, scheduled to run for half a day, is expected to affect normal activities in the state, including school operations and public transport, as participants observe the strike.
State officials have been notified of the protest and are monitoring the situation to ensure that the shutdown remains peaceful and does not disrupt essential services.
The farmers' group emphasized that the demand is limited to correcting the textbook content and does not involve broader political or economic grievances.
