Residents of Netai village near the Maoist hotbed of Lalgarh in West Bengal, where nine villagers were gunned down on January 7, are still to get over the shock with the worst hit being students preparing for their exams.
Apart from affecting normal life in and around the village in the West Midnapore district, the brutal killings have left the students so traumatised that they are hardly able to concentrate on their studies at a time when the Board examinations are knocking on the door.
Sarbani Ghorai, whose mother, Saraswati, was among the nine who fell victim to the bullets fired from an alleged CPI(M) armed camp at the village, told PTI that she was unable to come to terms with the reality of her pathetic existence.
"The Madhyamik (Class X) examinations are starting from January 23 and I am still unable to concentrate on my studies. Every time I try to do that, the horror of the incident clouds my mind," Sarbani, a student of the Lalgarh Girls' High School, said.
