Press Trust Of India

Banka (Bihar): Naxals blew up a state-run primary school at Gerua village in Bihar's Banka district in the early hours of Wednesday.

Over 100 Naxals surrounded the building at around 0230 hrs IST 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 Naxals 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.
