Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Two factories – a brick factory and a sand-shifting plant – which have for years been providing a major source of income for the Ragya Monastery in Machen County in Tibet have been shut down by the authorities who cite planned environmental improvements as the reason. Nearby mining operations, which have caused dispute with Tibetans there, are continuing and locals fear there are plans to expand these operations.
