Maoists blow up two school buildings

Gaya: Maoists on Sunday blew up two school buildings in Bihar and Jharkhand in separate incidents, the police said.

The rebels demolished the building of a State-run school at Faluka in Bihar’s Gaya district in the early hours, Superintendent of Police M.R. Naik said.

Over 100 heavily-armed ultras threw cane bombs targeting the building of Rajkiya Buniyadi Madhya Vidyalaya, Mr. Naik said.

The move was being seen as the ultras’ bid to pre-empt the administration’s plan to keep the security forces there at the time of elections.

In a similar incident, the ultras blew up an educational institute at Makka in Jharkhand.

The Maoists packed explosives in four rooms of ‘Project Vidyalaya Bhavan’ before triggering the blast. There was no loss of life, the police said. — PTI
