Its report also showed that 491 million yuan of funds for land acquisition had been appropriated by local governments along the line.
The report noted that the project showed improvement in safety control, quality management, fund management, and technological innovation, but certain aspects, such as materials and equipment tenders, were not conducted according to the rules.
