CHINA plans to take three years to finish major reconstruction work in the earthquake-hit Tibetan area in Qinghai Province, a Cabinet meeting said yesterday.
The government has given priority to the rebuilding and repairing of residential houses during post-quake reconstruction in Yushu.
A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Qinghai Province on April 14, leaving at least 2,200 dead.
A statement released after the State Council meeting noted the difficulties the reconstruction work faces: cold weather, low oxygen levels, a fragile ecosystem and inadequate construction resources.
The government vowed to build the "safest and most stable" schools and hospitals while protecting local ethnic and religious cultural heritage.
Infrastructure for civil aviation, postal services and communications are another focus of post-quake reconstruction, the statement said.
