Maoists have abducted 80 grade ten students from Jana Jyoti Madhyamik Vidyalaya in Bhalchaur Village Development Committee in Salyan and have coaxed them to join the warfare training, reports from the district said Tuesday.
The students were abducted some days back and they have been forced to train at Ratamata of the same VDC, reports from the district said quoting a student who managed to escape from the training camp.
The students were preparing for their send up exams of class ten. The Maoists who stormed the school told students that they should rather join the warfare training which was more important than studying text books at the moment.
There are reports that the Maoists have abducted students from other VDCs as well and have forcefully recruited them in their fighting force.
The students will be deprived of sitting for the School Leaving Certificate Examination if they are not freed.
