The Higher Secondary School located in Union Council Sangola, Rawalakot, was reduced to ashes last night as a result of a mysterious fire.
Around 1:30 AM Tuesday night, a fire suddenly erupted in the school, first noticed by a local resident who raised the alarm. The watchman was also unaware of the fire and came out upon hearing the commotion.
The apparent cause of the fire is being attributed to a short circuit. This school had been destroyed in an earthquake and was not rebuilt. The community collectively gathered donations to rebuild it. On Wednesday, students were astonished to see the school reduced to ashes when they arrived.
The police have registered a report and intensified efforts to uncover the actual causes.
