The newly constructed building of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, located barely 40 to 50 metres from the 5 Assam Rifles post at T Minou (Motha) village near the Indo-Myanmar Border Point 75 and 76, was set on fire by suspected Kuki militants on Wednesday night.
The newly constructed school building, located about 7 km from Moreh Police station under Tengnoupal district and awaiting formal inauguration, was torched around 8 pm.
On receipt of report of act of arson, teams of Moreh Fire Service proceeded to extinguish the inferno, but their path was found blocked with large boulders placed on the road.
According to informed sources, setting ablaze the school might be part of the plan to sabotage arrangement being made for stationing a company of 96 BSF at the same school.
