Maoists blow up school in Jharkhand

Maoists blew up a high school building in Khunti district of Jharkhand on the last day of their 72-hour shutdown to protest the proposed all-out offensive against them by the Centre.


A group of armed Maoists reached the Project High School late last night at Sodeh village, packed explosives before blowing up the two-storey building, Superintendent of Police AB Minz told reporters here on Tuesday.


The school was functioning in the old building after the Maoists had blasted the new structure in November last year.


The Maoists had on Sunday called the 72-hour bandh in Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh.
