Senior Tibet official sacked for graft

A senior official in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region has been removed from his post for "serious discipline violations," becoming the latest officials to fall under President Xi Jinping's sweeping anti-corruption drive.
Ngoga, deputy head of the Administration of Work Safety of the region, and former deputy commissioner of Nagqu Prefectural Administrative Office, allegedly accepted bribes and committed adultery, the regional discipline inspection commission said yesterday.
Ngoga's case has now been passed to the judiciary, state- run Xinhua news agency reported.
Chinese government is conducting a massive anti-corruption campaign in the last few years in which thousands of officials including some top officials the ruling Communist Party and the military have been punished.

In 2014, discipline inspection agencies nationwide investigated about 50,000 cases of minor violations and punished more than 20,000 officials including high-level officials like former national security chief Zhou Yangkong and a number of senior military officials.
