On the second day ( 25th August) of the 21st Sub junior Girls National Hockey championship being played at Rourkela, 9 matches were played. Due to ‘Orissa Bandh’ call given by the VHP in prostest against the killing of Swami Laxmnanand Sarswati on 23rd August, the matches scheduled to be played at Biju Patnaik Hockey Stadium could not be conducted there.
