Rourkela, January 04: Maoists blew up yet another government school building in Rehlatur gram panchayat in Orissa’s Sundargarh district, police sources said today.
About 40 ultras entered the building of the Middle English School in the Naxal-infested gram panchayat under K Balang town, about 120km from Rourkela yesterday, and looted 50 quintals of rice stored there before setting off an explosion, the sources said.
Maoists 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.
