China Welcomes Tiger with Tight Security

From the Times of India:

The Spring Festival began in China on Saturday as 1.3 billion people got ready to celebrate the start of the year of the Tiger on Sunday.

Over 10,000 temple fairs and thousands of other public events including fireworks shows, lantern exhibitions, official and corporate events will take place in the coming 10 days. The Public Security Bureau, which handles all security, said it has made elaborate arrangements to ensure the safety of people across the country. It was “ready to handle emergencies to prevent serious accidents” during the Lunar New Year festivities.

The government is particularly worried about gangs of organized crimes even after the judiciary sentenced dozens of them to death and long-term jail terms during recent weeks. Special arrangements have been made for security at railway stations as millions of people are traveling to their native villages during the holiday season.
