Officials with the Checho office in Nagqu (1957). In 1956, the Tibet Autonomous Region Preparatory Committee decided to set up the Hehou Checho Office.

These officials were often local monks and lay aristocrats, who were responsible for administration, law enforcement, tax collection and military and political affairs. |
