CHINA will spend 32 billion yuan (US$4.7 billion) on reconstruction of a remote Tibetan region in northwestern China after an earthquake in April devastated the area, the country's Cabinet said yesterday.
The April 14 quake in Yushu County of Qinghai Province flattened tens of thousands of houses, killing 2,698 people.
The State Council released the three-year reconstruction plan for the quake-hit region on its Website. Priority would be given to the reconstruction of houses, schools, hospitals and other public facilities.
"Building a new homeland, new schools, a new Yushu is the great expectation of the survivors of the disaster, and is the common aspiration of the people from all ethnic groups in the country," a statement said.
The plan included the building of about 31,000 houses in rural areas and nearly 30,000 houses for urban residents.
