"The matter has largely come under control now. The operation is now complete on the students side, and has moved to the administration block of the school," he said.
"There are no negotiations ongoing at the moment, there is a security forces operation ongoing.
"They have been cleared from the junior section. The explosion occurred in the senior section where there was a [school] function ongoing."
