Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Monday cancelled his official visit to Chamba after a massive protest was held by locals over the rape of a student, allegedly by a teacher, in Tissa.

Angry protesters pelted the police with stones, injuring three policemen, including Chamba ASP Varinder Singh.

Though the teacher accused of rape was arrested, the locals have sought action against the school staff.
