In West Bengal, as per the organisation’s estimates, there are 10,000 Tibetans. Members of various organisations from Sikkim, Darjeeling, kalingpong, Karseong and Shillong will assemble in Siliguri on Tuesday to discuss their plan of action. “We are few in number and scattered in the city. Thus it is difficult to organise the meeting. But all of us are confident that our efforts will not be wasted,” said said Pemba Bhutia, leader of the Kolkata chapter, which was formed recently.
The youth of the Kolkata chapter are getting support from many Tibetan families living in Kolkata and other citizens as well. “Similar marches will be held in Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai and Mysore,” says, Tenzing luksang, a member. “So far, over 100 students have joined us. A number of students, from the Chinese community, are also showing interest,” said Bhutia.
