K'taka: Tibetan colony at Bylakuppe remains unaffected from COVID 2.0

Mysuru, Apr 30 (UNI) Despite a surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, the Bylakuppe Tibetan Settlement, located at the border of Mysuru and Kodagu districts in Karnataka has not been affected by the virus, thanks to the stringent measures taken by the people who are at the helm of monasteries.
The settlement has been closed to visitors since the last 402 days ever since the news of COVID-19 outbreak started trickling from India. Probably following the strict protocol advice from their base camp at Dharamshala in Tibet, next to China — the world’s epicentre of the virus — the monasteries felt the need to ban the entry of outsiders into the settlement.
There are over 40,000 closely knit families of Tibetans settled at Bylakuppe and a disease of this magnitude could have spelt a disaster. Thanks to the stringent measures, there are only a handful of COVID-positive persons in the settlement and they have recuperated now. Monks have turned sticklers for rules and have fully adhered to the Government guidelines even at homes and outside.
