Underground groups have set a government school on fire here. They have
also set another school on fire in Manipur's Thoubal district. Unidentified persons
attacked the Kakching Khunou Government High School under Waikhong Police Station
here. They burned down the room of the principal and the computer room after breaking
locks. Noticing the flames, people from the surrounding areas rushed in and managed
to put out the fire. But many important documents of the school were destroyed.
School authorities say, the incident is likely to affect the students badly. "It
is a great loss for the students. Their exams are due in three months. We have
only 11 teachers and two of them are under training. So we are managing with just
nine teachers. We won't be able to complete the course", said Khumcha Chura, Headmaster
at the Kakching Khunou Govt. High School. "The government and the villagers are
trying our best to develop the village by imparting computer education The incident
is a great loss for everybody," said K. Prashuram, a villager in Kakching. School
property worth Rs.600,000 including 10 computers, tables, chairs, almirah, important
registers, cashbooks, and the ceilings of the rooms were badly damaged. The total
loss in the fire is estimated at rupees 6 lakhs. According to police, unidentified
miscreants also attempted to set on fire the school building of Wangjing High
School in Thoubal district of the State. |
