Schools burnt on law-enforcers' watch

I, as a teacher shudder to even imagine that only a day before the election, a number of schools, serving as polling centers, were burnt to ashes by the so-called miscreants. Undoubtedly, this is a very serious matter to be concerned with.
I just can't understand how it happened at a time when our army was deployed in addition to our regular law and order forces to stop this kind of violence. Besides, there were party men round the clock to keep vigil. Is it not a failure on the part of the CEC and the government as well?
