Several schools in Karanjiya and Bajag blocks of Maoist-affected and forest-rich Dindori district have been closed till November 29.
The tribal-dominated district is also among the three districts of the state (adjoining Balaghat and Mandla being the other two) categorized as Maoists affected due to movement self-sufficient Dalams of the left-wing extremists (LWE).
This is perhaps the first time that schools have been shut due to the movement of wild animals in the state.
