This decision is from the Kashag (Bka’ shag, the Cabinet of the Tibetan Government). A petition was filed by the people of the Kyrong (sKyid grong) to the Kashag regarding the imposition of tax on the newly born Dzo (an animal which is a cross between an ox and a yak) and the heavy interest rate levied by the district officer and some individuals. The Kashag rescinded the tax on the Dzo and made the people free to engage in business of Dzo and butter. The district officer took no role in the above business.
