Police official: A fire broke out in old building of Government High School in Kashmir

Police said it has taken cognisance of the incident and started investigation to ascertain the cause of fire.

As many as 32 schools have been targeted by unknown persons since the unrest began in Kashmir on July 8 following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces.

Jammu and Kashmir High Court last week took suo moto cognisance of the incidents and directed the state government to ensure that the schools are protected.
