Tibet Quake Aftermath: Exiled Tibetans Mourn, Blame China's Environmental Practices
Tibetans in Dharamshala, India, recently held a poignant candlelight vigil, mourning victims of a massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Tibet's Nakchu region on October 22, 2026. This devastating quake reportedly killed at least 16 people, injured 76, and left hundreds of homes in ruins. Activists, including the Tibetan Youth Congress, didn't just mourn; they sharply pointed fingers at Chinese environmental practices, saying these policies make the region much more vulnerable to such natural disasters.
