As part of a government initiative called ‘Choo Lo Aasman (touch the sky)’ that started in 2011, 80-odd students from government schools are chosen through an exam every year in Dantewada.
Eight Naxalites, including a boy, have been held in connection with last month's Aranpur blast in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district wherein 10 police personnel and a civilian lost their lives, police said on Saturday. With this development, the total number of Naxalites held in the case increased to 17, they said.
Making headway in the ongoing Dantewada blast investigation, Bastar Police released the photograph of the Aranpur blast s mastermind and also announced the cash reward on naxals indulged in the incident.
