CHINA'S top auditor said today that about 278 million yuan of relief funds are sleeping in Yushu County, northwest China, which was hit by a 7.1-magnitute earthquake in 2010 due to slow pace of reconstruction.
Many housing projects were either postponed or bogged down in Yushu in Qinghai Province, said a report by the National Audit Office.
Yushu officials said the quake-damaged town already restored the main roads, water system and waste treatment facilities.
The auditor said only 19.9 billion of the 31.7-billion-yuan total investment for over 1,500 housing projects had been used as of October last year.
The devastating earthquake on April 14, 2010 claimed 2,220 lives.
Authorities are investigating how aid money and relief goods were used in Yushu after online media reported that many relief supplies for areas hit by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake remained untouched, raising public concern over waste and improper management.
