Public order in Tibet and nearby Gansu Province has been restored, after the riots in mid March. Damaged shops and bank branches, along with the public transportation system, are back to normal operation.

Over 1/5 of the bank branches in Lhasa were damaged in the riots. But bank staff took precautions to transfer cash and important files to safety. Now, nearly all the banks in the regional capital of Tibet are running again.
