Dalai Lama Visit: Press awaits clearance

New delhi, Nov 7: Foreign journalists awaiting coverage of Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh may not be as lucky as the religious leader to get their visits cleared.

Reports say that the teams from BBC, Newsweek and French Documentary, who were scheduled to leave for Tawang via Guwahati are waiting for their requests to be approved by the Home Ministry.

While the Dalai Lama will be in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, on Sunday, Nov 8, the ministry of external affairs said that the journalists' requests are still under process.

In his visit to Arunachal Pradesh which drew heavy opposition from China, Dalai Lama will visit Bomdilla and Darang on Nov 12, and will visit Itanagar on Nov 14 before finishing off his visit on Nov 15.
