  Avoid crowds.No crowds, No protests. Every year, more than 10k people are gathered at there on special days.

  Th article doesn't say why in particular but in general the government is very sensitive to any organization that might challenge its authority. In addition, China is committed to Hanization of Tibet, so limiting opportunity for aggrieved people to get together is probably important to that objective.
