India raises Dalai Lama security after Chinese ‘plot’

Despite being the subject of several threats over the years, including some
from Tibetan dissidents who reject his non-violent ‘Middle Way’ to seeking
autonomy from Chinese rule, he lives within a relatively relaxed security
cordon.

His palace in Dharamsala, at the heart of a Buddhist temple complex, appears
to be guarded only by a handful of unarmed security men and scanner.

Now, according to Indian officials, the Dalai Lama, who retired from his role
as Tibet’s political leader last year, will have his food tested by his
personal doctor and be protected by new screening equipment to detect any
poisons and harmful chemicals entering his inner sanctum.

“We are looking at chemical detectors to establish what kind are
required. The information [of a potential poison attack] is from the Tibetan
government in exile so we’re looking at what technology is available. This
particular threat emanated from Lhasa. They told us there was a threat of a
chemical being thrown at him,” said I.D Bhandari, Director General of
Police in Himachal Pradesh.
