Lobsang Dhargyal ; a monk from the local Kirti Monastery ; was detained soon after he staged a solo protest on the main road of the County town ; known to the locals as ‘Martyr’s Road’ on 16 March. Exile Tibetan sources reported that the monk shouted slogans calling for Tibetan freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet. He was easily overpowered by the huge posse of security officers deployed in the area to keep order during the sensitive month. Belongs to Kirti Monastery
