Sonam Tsetan, head of one of the squads of one of the guard brigades under the Lhasa Detachment of the People's Armed Police, said since the opening of the Qinghai-Xizang Railway in 2006, they have been working hard to protect the railway while overcoming the lack of oxygen at such a high altitude.

Sonam Tsetan's squad has two guard points, with armed police on duty 24 hours a day at both ends of the bridge.

He said: "Since the squad was established in 2006, we have never experienced a single safety accident or any incidents of deliberate attacks on trains and railways along the section of the Lhasa River Super-long Bridge. It is a gateway for rails entering and departing Xizang. Due to its strategic importance, it needs strict protection."
