(TibetanReview.net, Mar03, 2010)

The Chinese government in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) will try to spend seven billion yuan (US$1.26 billion) this year on road construction, reported China’s official Xinhuanet news service Mar 1, citing Tibet Daily. It said all the counties in the TAR will have access to roads by the end of this year.

Currently Metok is the only county not paved by highway. But this is set to change once the project that is already underway is completed later this year, the last of China’s 11th Five-Year Plan.

The report cited the TAR’s Traffic and Transportation Department as saying it will also speed up the growth of passenger transport, extend bus routes in urban areas and draw up comprehensive plans for passenger transport in both urban and rural areas.

HONG KONG — Hundreds of Tibetans staged a rare public protest in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan during the lunar new year holiday, known as Losar, according to sources in the region.

"Yes, [the Tibetans held a sit-in]," said one Ngaba resident.

"The Tibetans have all left. Gone home." A second resident, asked if armed police were dispatched to the scene, replied, "Yes, yes, lots of them."

Dekyi Dolma, a nun whose hometown is in Ngaba but who currently lives in the northern Indian town of Dharamsala, said as many as eight or nine monasteries and nunneries were involved in the protest.
