Heavy rains that lashed southwest China’s Sichuan Province Friday night have triggered mudslides in several cities, destroying roads and bridges. Rescue teams have been dispatched for relief work and many people in affected areas have been relocated.
In Pengzhou, northwest of Chengdu, heavy downpour triggered a mudslide in the Yin'chang'gou scenic zone, leaving 2 people missing. The mudslides caused the collapse of a bridge at Hongkou Village in Du'jiang'yan City and a cave-in in the road near the Hongkou Scenic Spot. Workers said that repairs are expected to complete in two to three days.
In Shi Fang, northwest of the provincial capital of Chengdu, heavy rain cut off roads and stranded many locals and tourists. People living in dilapidated buildings were relocated to safe places, and relief work is currently well underway.
