TIBETAN GUERRILLAS
STILL ACTIVE
Darjeeling, Feb 9

The recent spate of
rumours and oontradio-
tions regarding concentra-
tion of Tibetan guerrillas
and Chineie foroee in the
Mustang area it largely
influenced, if not moti-
vated, by politioal consi-
derations.

To any ebaerrer con-
versant with tbe happen-
ing! io. Tibet aqd iti
border areas ever ainoe
the Chinese take-over, one
■ignifioant faot emerges—
that Tibetan guerrillas
have not ceased to worry,
harass and pillage Chinese
forces and convoys when-
ever the opportunity arises.

In the north and
north-eastern sectors, the
Chinese have yet to effec-
tively subdue the Kham-
pas and Amdos. The
southern seotor, particu-
larly areas adjoining Loka,
had seen some fighting
after the Dalai Lama's
escape to India. The
western and sontb.western
seotors, particularly inac-
cessible areas adjoining
northern Nepal, had seen
intensive skirmishes bet.
ween Chinese troops and
Tibetan guerrillas last
year. Aooerding to infor-
mation available here, the
Chinese are now aotively
considering taking strong
military action to wipe
out rebel pookets in areas
adjoining Mustang and

have oonoentrated troops
on areas adjoining the
north and north-eastern
peripheries of Nepal.
