Maoists blew up a school building at Banbirua in Jharkhand's Latehar district, a senior police officer said on Tuesday.
Maoists blew up the structure to prevent the security forces from making it a make-shift camp during the ensuing five-phase assembly elections starting on November 25, the police said.
A team of police personnel has reached the spot and launched raids against the Maoist guerillas, Diwedi said.
