Blew-up two more schools
Maoists continue attacks ahead of LS polls in Bihar - India - The Times of India
GAYA/AURANGABAD: In what appears to be an attempt to demoralize security forces in the run up to the parliamentary polls, Maoists carried out two attacks on government and private installations in Bihar’s Gaya and Aurangabad districts in the past 24 hours.
In Gaya, the Maoist blew up a schiool building-cum-cluster centre at Baluar village under the Banke Bazar police station, about 4 km from the venue of CM Nitish Kumar’s election meeting scheduled to take place in the neighbouring Raniganj village, on Wednesday. The blast took place only a few hours before CM Nitish Kumar’s scheduled visit in the afternoon.
This is for the second time within the last 72 hours that the extremists have caused explosion in the area where CM Nitish Kumar’s election meet was scheduled. Earlier, the Maoists blew up a school building and cluster centre in the Barachatti police station area in a similar fashion.
According to reports reaching the district headquarters, the Maoists numbering about 100 ransacked the two-storey government school building, took away the school computer along with all the accessories and blew up the building and the adjoining resource centre using can bombs in the operation.
