The Lhasa City Public Security Bureau held a mobilization meeting on 29th October to step up the "Strike Hard" struggle and make additional arrangements for the struggle.

Since May this year, public security organs at all levels in Lhasa have launched a series of specially targeted "Strike Hard" actions with separatists as the primary target. They have cracked a large number of criminal cases and sternly punished a large number of criminal elements, thereby dealing a severe blow to the criminals' swollen arrogance. As a result, the masses have a higher sense of security and the city's situation and public order have further stabilized and improved.

At the mobilization meeting, Li Xianwen [phonetic], Lhasa City's deputy director of public security, made specific arrangements for further strengthening the "Strike Hard" struggle in the Lhasa city district. He said: To ensure security during the three big holidays - New Year's Day, the Spring Festival and the Tibetan New Year's Day - we will concentrate efforts on launching specially-targeted "Strike Hard" struggles in the next month. We will make vigorous efforts to crack more cases and increase the case-solving ratio. We will strengthen crime prevention patrols and make an all-out effort to reduce criminal cases. We will tighten security controls to reduce hidden threats to security. We will strengthen precautionary investigation and interrogation and do a good job of digesting what we have obtained. We will adopt a system under which a bureau director will take personal responsibility for the whole bureau with leaders of units taking responsibility for assigned cases and crime prevention work. We will s

tress crime prevention while carrying out the "Strike Hard" struggle. We will swiftly swing into action in both solving criminal investigations and crime prevention security patrols to whip up another upsurge in the "Strike Hard" struggle.
