Agencies/ Kathmandu
Armed groups of Maoists have abducted some 1,000 students and teachers from different schools in western Nepal for forceful indoctrination on rebel ideology, state-run media reported today.
The rebels abducted students mainly from Class 9 and 10 and two teachers from each school in Jajarkot district, 'The Rising Nepal' daily said.
Maoists forcefully took away 150 students and two teachers from Shankar Secondary School at Bahun Thana of Jajarkot district yesterday, the daily said quoting a teacher of the school. They have taken other 850 students and teachers from 11 schools of the district towards unknown destination.
The students and teachers have been taken by the Maoists to indoctrinate them into the Maoist ideology and to forcefully make them attend their programme, the daily said.
The daily also reported that the southeastern district of Chitawan is in grief four days after the landmine blast triggered by the Maoist that killed at least 40 and wounded dozens traveling on the passenger bus.
Although the Maoist top leader Prachanda has apologised for the incident saying that it was a mistake, the family members of the victims are not satisfied, it said.
The Amnesty International Nepal Chapter has asked the Maoists to probe into the landmine and make public the full report of its internal investigation and action taken against the culprits, The Rising Nepal said.
Hundreds of people queued up to cremate dead bodies at Reu Khola, the mass graveyard of victims of Monday's landmine blast in Chitawan, The Kathmandu Post reported.
Those responsible for the heinous crime must stand trial before the public, said a local resident, rejecting the Maoist's apology, the daily reported. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
