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.
A Chinese mining site in a Tibetan-populated area in Sichuan province has spilled polluted water into a nearby river “resulting in the deaths of countless numbers of fish and other animals” i.e. livestock owned by villagers. “The spill has also contaminated the drinking water of five to six villages,” a local resident was quoted by RFA. Complaints to the authorities resulted in troops arriving in the area.
