300 more residents have been relocated from Doima Township in Tsonyi county to their new homes 1,000 km to the south, in Singpori near Lhasa. The authorities cite protection of the environment, and the high altitude and harsh environment as the reason for the compulsory relocations, despite the fact that Tibetans have lived there happily and sustainably for generations. 130,000 people in total are to be relocated.
