Its really a serious issue and needs to be dealt with sternly. It is infact, a criminal act from their part, especially, knowing the facts that, when the hindus have already adheared to the instructions of the govt, then why they haven’t thought of doing so, for the safety of the society in general.
In Himachal, its a high time that the hideouts of foreigners and tibetians in Dhramshala and kullu are thoroughly checked, immediately by launching series of well planned search operations. Infact during the edge time, just before the imposition of curfew , such communities must have rushed towards these hideouts for undergoing the hibernation for the imminent shutdown as they are well aware that they cant live in isolation for a long, outside of such hideouts as they are in the habit of staying in goups for various reasons.
Agree , Thanks
