November 10th, 2009 - 12:49 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Ranchi, Nov 10 (IANS) Maoist guerrillas blew up two school buildings in Jharkhand’s Latehar district to prevent security forces from using them as make-shift camps during the upcoming assembly polls, police said Tuesday.
Two schools in Banbirua and Kona villages in Latehar, some 145 km from here, were blasted by Maoists late Monday night using detonators and explosives, a police official said.
The rebels left behind pamphlets saying the buildings had been blown up to prevent the security forces from using them as make-shift camps during the elections. The five-phase assembly poll begins Nov 25. The votes will be counted Dec 23.
