Maoists blast school building in Bihar

Press Trust of India, Wednesday October 21, 2009, Banka

Maoists blew up a state-run primary school at Gerua village in Bihar's Banka district in the wee hours on Wednesday. So far no casualties have been reported.

Over 100 ultras surrounded the building at around 2.30 am and used dynamites to trigger the explosion, police said. The roofs of the three-room school caved in due to the explosion.

The school was adjacent to the Sangrampur block office which was blown up by the Maoists last week.

The district administration had earlier planned to set up a police post at the school. Senior officials reached the spot and combing operation was on in the area.

People who are crusading / pursuing the cause should realise that destruction is a one minute job. But construction to provide facilities to users will take years. Destroyer should realise although at present the usage is slated for police occupation, in the yester-year and in the forth coming days, the building will churn out future leaders. The destruction will leave the residents around untold sufferings for schooling of their children. The destroyers have acquired capability and leadership through their schooling, they should think for a moment that their act does any thing for betterment of the people they are seeking to serve. They should not outweigh short term benefit at the altar of long term benefit and deny the blossing future hopes of the nation. Destruction as a way of expression of their frustration and in pursuance of the cause should be eschewed as it deprives the children and women of this generation the fruits they are entitled and long for. I pray God that better sense will prevail on them and respond to the call of the Home Minister to abjure violence to begin talks
