Congress and BJP both have called for a shut-down in Kandhamal, Odisha after accusing the Biju Janata Dal government of killing tribals during the anti-Maoist operation in the district.

Kandhamal Superintendent of Police Pinak Mishra clarified that five persons had been killed in Maoist-police crossfire. 

Police had on Sunday put the death toll at six in the incident in Gumudumaha forest area under Tumudibandha police station limit. 

Odisha PCC president Prasad Harichandan said the judicial probe ordered into the incident by the Naveen Patnaik government was "unacceptable". "BJD government is fully responsible for the tragedy in which innocent people were killed in the name of anti-Maoist operation."
