Contact is taking a holiday!

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.

RC Fine Reduced

May 2, 2019;

The government of India requires Tibetans living in the country to register themselves as foreigners and renew their Registration Certificate (RC) and Residential Permit annually. Fines on the failure to do so promptly have been reduced to Rs 100 [$1.4/£1] (1 to 90 days late), Rs 200 [$ 2.8/£2](90 days up to 2 years) and Rs 500 [$7/£5/(more than 2 years). Earlier government circulation fixed the fines between Rs 13,900 – Rs 34, 700 [$200 – $500 / £150 – £380].
