Odisha bandh: Opposition parties protest over student's death, demand justice

Protests have erupted across Orissa, with a state-wide 'bandh' called by the Congress and an eight-party opposition coalition. The demonstrations follow the death of a 22-year-old female student from Fakir Mohan College, who died after a self-immolation incident in Balasore. Protestors are blocking roads and transport in cities like Bhubaneswar, demanding justice for the student and highlighting a need for improved law and order. A key demand from the demonstrators is for "justice for the girl who lost her life after self-immolation." They are also calling for better safety and security for women in Odisha to prevent such incidents from happening again.
