WORK resumed on a major railway project in south China yesterday after local residents agreed to end a five-day sit-in, an official of the contractor said.
Tong Guoqiang, an official with the state-controlled China Railway No. 4 Engineering Group, which is building that portion of the Wuhan-Guangzhou Railway, said villagers agreed on Thursday to suspend protests for a week after they met local officials and the company.
The suspension cost the company "hundreds of thousands of yuan" a day, in wages and equipment costs, Tong said.
Villagers threatened to throw bricks at workers if they did not agree to stop work, another company official, Zhang Hong, said.
The residents of Nangang Village in the suburbs of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, protested because 110 households facing relocation had not received any information about resettlement.
"They are likely to resume the protest if they are not told about their resettlement next week," said Tong.
