Town in east China's Anhui Province July 8, 2003. The dyke at Xiakoumen
was in danger due to heavy rains bursting along the Huaihe River area
Tuesday morning. With the joint efforts by local residents and soldiers,
the dangerous situation is under control. [Xinhua] |
The valiant efforts of armed police who
repaired a collapsing dyke in East China yesterday evening, saved more
than 1 million people at risk from serious flooding. The collapsed dyke on
the Chuhe River, which flows across Anhui and Jiangsu provinces,
threatened the Beijing-Shanghai railway artery and Nanjing, capital of
Jiangsu Province, 50 kilometres away, said officials with the Anhui flood
control department. [newsphoto.com.cn] |
