Christians Barred from Prayer and Threatened in Odisha Village; Police Deployed
In Kapena village, Nabarangpur district, Odisha, approximately 30 Christian families were prevented from holding a prayer meeting in a house used as a church. Villagers allegedly disrupted the assembly, threatening the Christian community to abandon their faith, destroy their prayer room, and expel them from the Hindu-majority village. The incident, which occurred on January 26, underscores existing tensions between the Christian and Hindu communities in the area. While no formal complaint has been filed, police have been deployed to the village to maintain peace and order, following reports of the disturbance.
