Maoists blow up school building
Rourkela: In yet another violent incident, the Maoists blew up yet another government school building in Rehlatur gram panchayat in Sundargarh district on late Sunday night.
About 40 ultras barged into the building of the Middle English School in the naxal-infested gram panchayat under K Balang town, about 120 km from here Sunday, and looted 50 quintals of rice stored there before setting off an explosion, the sources said.
The red rebels had blasted four school buildings and a hospital besides two buildings in the gram panchayat last month.
About 3,000 to 4,000 villagers have left their homes in panic and were sheltering in camps in K Balang as they were not provided security.
