In a setback to Kashmir residents wanting normalcy in the Valley, a school in Jammu-Kashmir's Kulgam area has been set ablaze allegedly by terrorists on Wednesday.

Kulgam (Jammu and Kashmir): The Government High School in Watoo zone of Kulgam district here was set ablaze allegedly by terrorists on Wednesday.

The visuals obtained by a news agency showed debris of the burnt school's roof strewn across the floor. Scorched walls and pieces of charred furniture were also seen in the visuals.

Following the abrogation of Article 370, terrorists have been threatening the Valley residents to not cooperate with the administration as it is soon going to be bifurcated into two Union territories -- Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
