Police in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh (HP) have proposed the creation of a new intelligence office in Dharamshala that would oversee security for His Holiness (HH) the Dalai Lama. The proposal for posting a “deputy inspector general of police, intelligence” states that, “effective and regular supervision of the security set-up of the Dalai Lama is vital and can be ensured with the posting of one regular senior officer”.
