OFFICIALS in Linxiang in central China's Hunan Province have denied the claims that illegal quarry activities caused a mudslide that killed at least 21 people on Friday.
A Linxiang City spokesman said the two stone quarries in Dayun Mountain were not within the Dayunshan National Park where mining and logging is strictly banned, and blamed the disaster on a torrential rain, the worst in history, Yangcheng Evening News reported today.
But nearby villagers disagreed, saying the entire Dayun Mountain had been under the state protection since 2009. It was the excavation of stones in the mountain that caused rocks and soil to pour downhill, burying their houses and crop fields.
