Context

This data was extracted from the following paragraph of the newspaper clippings.

Separately, a group of around 40 armed Maoists blew up a Residential High School building managed by the Tribal Welfare department at Gompakunda under Kalimela Police Station limits in Malkangiri District. They asked around 60 students present in the hostel to stand back and not interfere in their violent act. Through posters left at the spot the Maoists claimed that it was their mark of protest against the visit of US president Barack Obama to India. It may be noted that Maoists had given call for nationwide bandh (general shut down) on November 8 to protest against US president's visit. The Maoists also claimed that they had blasted the school building as it was to be used as camping site for security forces during anti-naxal operations.
