The bandh, called in protest against alleged police crackdown on partymen during a Congress rally on September 6, was peaceful, police sources said.
State Congress President Niranjan Patnaik, Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh and former chief minister Hemanand Biswal, were taken into preventive custody, the sources said.
The OPCC president claimed complete success of the bandh. "It shows people are against the BJD government headed by Naveen Patnaik." he said.
Preventive arrests were made at Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Dhenkanal, Balasore, Rayagada, Sambalpur, Bolangir, Phulbani, Angul, Talcher and almost all districts.
Over 15 trains were detained for several hours at Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Khurda Road, Berhampur, Puri and Sambalpur as bandh supporters went on dharna on the tracks, a spokesman of East Coast Railway said.
Buses, trucks and auto-rickshaw remained off the roads as Congress workers blocked roads at many places, police sources said.
