Maoists blow up school building in Orissa | In a fresh case of Maoist violence in Orissa, rebels blew up a school building in Malkangiri district early
this morning. According to sources, about 100 heavily-armed rebels stormed into a village under Kalimela police station area and blew up the building, causing
extensive damage to the structure. The school building was targeted as the Maoists
felt it would be utilised for accommodating security forces during anti-Naxal
operation, sources said. Security personnel were sent to village to conduct combing
operation to track the ultras. On Monday, the Maoists blew up a panchayat office
building and a godown in Kalimela area. Around 50 gun-totting rebels stormed into
Mandapalli under Kalimela area had triggered a landmine blast at the panchayat
building and a godown nearby. The attack came ahead of a 48-hour nationwide shutdown
called by the Maoists to protest the killing of their leader Cherukuri Rajkumar
alias Azad in Andhra Pradesh''s Adilabad District. The Andhra Pradesh police reportedly
shot dead Azad in an encounter in the Jogapur forest area early on Friday, while
he was attempting to cross into Maharashtra. |
