Bodh Gaya/IBNS: Police have issued a security alert amid Dalai Lama’s visit to Bodh Gaya and released a sketch of a Chinese woman, who it suspects, is plotting an attack on him.

Since the arrival of the Tibetan spiritual leader’s arrival in the pilgrim town last Thursday, the police have been on high alert.


The police are looking for the Chinese woman, who has been identified as Song Xiaolan

The Dalai Lama is scheduled to offer discourses at the Kalchakra Maidan from December 29 to 31.

He was welcomed in Bodh Gaya by District Magistrate Thyagarajan and Senior Superintendent of Police Harpreet Kaur, besides a sizeable number of followers.

Hundreds of people stood on both sides of the road to catch a glimpse of the Dalai Lama as he drove to the Tibetan monastery at Bodh Gaya.

The security in the area has been tightened in view of the Nobel Laureate's visit.

In January 2018, his site of discourse in the city was rocked by a low-intensity blast.

Meanwhile, the health department has taken measures to ensure the enforcement of Covid-19 protocols in the city where pilgrims from across the world have gathered to attend the discoursed of the spiritual leader.

The authorities have deployed health personnel for Covid testing of visitors from abroad and requested people to wear masks.
