Dalai Lama’s security tightened

Dharamsala: The Central Government has decided to strengthen the security cover around Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, after a proposal to this effect was sent by the Kangra district Senior Superintendent of Police to the liaison office of the Union Ministry for Foreign Affairs at McLeodganj.

According to sources, at least six close circuit television (CCTV) cameras will be installed on the premises of the Dalai Lama’s official residence at McLeodganj since there is a large open space between the outer and inner circles of security of the spiritual leader. According to Atul Fuzele, SSP (Kangra), the cameras will be installed in two or three weeks. A control room will be set up in the office of the DySP.

In addition, police surveillance has been increased around McLeodganj police station and a close vigil is being kept on areas around the Dalai Lama’s residence.

Meanwhile, the 52-day World Parliamentarians’ Convention on Tibet beginning October 20 at Paris, has been postponed indefinitely.
