Last week there was another death due to drug over dose in Dharamshala. He was from Amdo Naba and he is 26 years old. he came to India at the age of five and he has never seen his family since then. He studied in TCV school and studied thanka Painting from TCV vocational training center pathlikul, in North India.  A monk friend of him was telling me he has never spoke to his mother for last four years due to dialect issue(since he could not speak in Amdo dialect ).

Last year he was being rehabilitated at Zhedhe Khangsar, Dharadun. He was discharge earlier this after the completion of his rehabilitation program. We at kunphen has been talking to him and trying to help him ever since he came here. We offered him a job in our paper project but he didn’t turn in. Its very breaking when some one dies of own made death. Read more
