20 鈥榮afe鈥 after landslide
Print Edition
THE number of people missing after a huge landslide buried a mountain village in southwest China last weekend has been revised down from 93 to 73, authorities said yesterday.
The confirmed number of dead remained at 10 after heavy rain brought down the side of a mountain onto Xinmo village in Sichuan Province on Saturday.
An additional 20 people were reported to be “safe,” according to the Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Aba.
A statement said the figure was revised after officials “visited households, checked household registration and telephone records and conducted public cross-examination.” It did not explain if any of those people had been rescued or if they had been wrongly reported missing.
Meanwhile, Xinhua news agency said more rock and mud fell on the site of the tragedy yesterday. No one was injured in the new and smaller avalanche as the area where the village once stood had been cordoned off on Monday, Xinhua reported.
Rescue workers who had been digging through the rubble since Saturday’s disaster were evacuated from the area on Monday in anticipation of another collapse.
