Due to the Samaikyandhra agitation, schools were closed till Sunday and opened on Monday.
When the school was reopened, agitators led by Friends Youths Society in the village closed the school and took nearly 80 students in a procession towards Kurnool-Guntur national highway road about 200 metres away from the school at Mandlem.
The two students had reportedly brought small bottles of petrol with them. When the procession reached the NH Road, they poured petrol on their heads and set themselves ablaze.By the time the leaders noticed the flames, the duo had suffered burn injuries.
