Maoists blow-up school building in Jharkhand
Ranchi, Nov. 10 (ANI): Maoists have blown-up a school building in Jharkhand's Latehar district on Tuesday to prevent the security forces from using it as a temporary camp during the upcoming assembly elections due on November 25.
"We heard a blast sound in the night between 1:00 to 1:30 am and when we came here to check, we found that the school had been blown up," said Dilip Kumar, a local.
He added that Maoists were shouting slogans against the police administration while leaving the school premises.
According to sources, a group of Maoists stuffed detonators and explosives in the school building and triggered the blast.
Maoists left behind pamphlets warning the police officials against using schools as camps.
