Dharamsala, Mar 22: Tibetan

Dharamshala, Mar 21: US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi will meet Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama here today.

The Tibetan issue is likely to be a matter of focus during her visit in view of the recent Chinese crackdown in Lhasa.

She was a strong supporter of the move to honour the Dalai Lama with the Congressional Gold Medal, a top US civilian honour.

Besides meeting the Tibetan leadership, Pelosi is likely to ascertain the situation across the border.

Dharamshala, Mar 20: The ongoing crusade against Chinese suppression of Tibet by exiles living in Dharamshala has crippled the economy of Buddhist pilgrimage spots.

According to protestors, the economy of the state is the last thing on their mind and all they are concerned about is autonomy for Tibet.

For the last ten days, business establishments and shops have remained closed in the region due to the Tibetan protests.
