| Two more schools gutted in mysterious fire in Kashmir | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 8; Despite claiming to have taken a number of steps, besides arresting about 25 persons, two more educational institutions were gutted in mysterious fire incidents in the Kashmir valley, where more than 30 schools were set ablaze during the past three months. Official sources said here today that fire broke out in a school at Badoora Anantnag in south Kashmir during the intervening night. Locals joined by fire brigade brought the flames under control, they said, adding the building suffered massive damage. In another mysterious fire incident a school was reduced to ashes at Bader Payeen in the frontier district of Kupwara. More than 30 schools have been gutted fully or partially under mysterious fire incidents in the Kashmir valley, where Board of School Education (BOSE) is all set to hold 10th and 12th class examination from November 14 despite protests by some students, traders, separatists and main opposition National Conference (NC) who were challenging the government decision alleging students have completed just 40 to 50 per cent syllabus. However, government has now announced that students who are not ready to appear in the examinations now can sit in the March examinations. However, this evoked massive reaction from traders associations and other alleging that it was just to confuse students. Meanwhile, police claimed to have identified 40 youths, allegedly involved in setting schools on fire. However, about 30 of them have been arrested, majority of them in south Kashmir after Special Investigation Team(SIT) was constituted by police. However, locals contested the police claim alleging that police, under pressure, have now arrested innocent persons for face saving. |
