Bhubaneswar: Life is limping back to normal in Orissa's Kandhamal district after more than a month of anti-Christian attacks that left at least 35 people dead and forced thousands to flee their homes and live in relief camps or jungles.
"There have been no incidents of violence in the past six days," the district superintendent of police, S. Praveen Kumar, said.
The violence erupted after the August 23 killing of Swami Lakshmanananda Saraswati of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and four others at his ashram in Kandhamal.
Blaming Christians for the murders, thousands of rampaging Hindus burnt Christian homes and churches.
The biggest challenge at present before the administration is to ensure that the people in the relief camps return home.
