Renovation work back on track

The renovation of two major cultural heritage sites in Tibet resumed this month after being suspended during the freezing winter, a local official said yesterday.

Workers returned to the Potala and Norbu Lingka palaces in Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region, Nyima Cering, who is in charge of the repair work, said.

The recent unrest in Lhasa interrupted the movement of construction materials for a couple of days, but the situation has returned to normal and the projects are proceeding in an orderly way, he said.
