Schools have been targetted in Cachar and Hailakandi districts of southern Assam’s Barak Valley since October 2020
Unknown miscreants bombed a lower primary school on the Assam-Mizoram border late Friday night, triggering another tensions after a brief lull. Officials in southern Assam’s Hailakandi district said the Paka Punjee LP School was partially damaged in the explosion. The Assam government-run school is under the Gutguti outpost of the State police and is aerially less than a kilometre from Dhaleswari River, the “natural” inter-State boundary. “A wall of the school building was partially damaged. The locals heard the explosion about 11:30 p.m. and informed the police,” Hailakandi Superintendent of Police Gaurav Upadhyay said. “There was no major damage to property, but we are seriously investigating the attack,” he added.More Related News
