Beijing (CNN) -- Four officials in the Chamdo region of Tibet were sacked for leaving their posts during the Chinese New Year, and three more police officials were sacked in the Shigatse region for failing to carry out security duty in local government buildings, state-run Tibet Daily reported Friday.
The decision regarding their "neglect of duty" was announced at a Communist Party conference in the region. Chen Quanguo, the party chief, told the conference the current situation in the Tibetan Autonomous Region is "grave."
