October 30, 2016 17:05

A government school building was set on fire in South Kashmir's Anantnag district, major portion of the building damaged.

This is the third school set ablaze since yesterday and the 20th one in the last two months.

There has been no classwork in any school in the valley in the last 112 days of turmoil that has left at least 92 persons dead and thousands injured.

The continued closure of schools has been worrying parents, especially of children studying at the 10+2 level, whose final exams were to be conducted in October-November.
