Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Sunday warned of raids in government schools in rural areas of the hill state to ensure the presence of teachers.
"If any teacher is found missing from schools without sanctioned leave, they would be dismissed from service," he said while addressing a gathering at Dharech village near here.
