Bhubaneswar: Naxal rebels have blown up a police outpost in Orissa's Kandhamal district, police said on Saturday.
A group of Naxals blew up the police outpost in Katingia on Friday night, Kandhamal Superintendent of Police Pravin Kumar said.
The district headquarters is about 200 km from the state capital.
