Tokyo: Natural disasters in China have increased the problems of the people. Twenty-one people lost their lives in a landslide in northwestern China, while floods in the southern Guangxi region drowned a snake farm, sending more than 800 snakes out into the open. Now the situation is such that the administration has to work simultaneously on both fronts, relief work and protection of people from snakes.
How did hundreds of snakes spread in the villages after the flood?
Due to heavy rain and typhoon, many areas of Guangxi were submerged in water. Meanwhile, a snake farm located in Hangzhou was completely submerged. As the water rose, more than 800 snakes kept in the farm came out and were swept away towards nearby villages. After this there is an atmosphere of fear among the local people. The administration has advised people in the affected areas to be alert and immediately inform if they see any snakes.
How much damage was caused by the landslide?
A large part of the hill suddenly slipped in Longnan City, Gansu Province, on Tuesday morning. Within no time, debris of mud and rocks fell on many people. After the completion of relief and rescue operations, officials said that 21 people have died in this accident.
What did the rescue teams do?
After the incident, the rescue team started the operation without wasting any time. After several hours of hard work, all the people buried under the debris were pulled out. Of these, five people were found safe, while seven people were taken to the hospital in injured condition. His condition is currently said to be stable.
What was the cause of the accident found out?
The administration has started investigating this incident. According to initial information, the weather was normal at the time of the accident. In such a situation, experts are trying to find out what caused the landslide. The real reason will be revealed only after the investigation is completed.
What is the biggest challenge facing the administration now?
On one hand, relief work is going on in the landslide-affected area, while on the other hand, a campaign is being run to catch the snakes spread in the flooded areas. The administration says that until the situation becomes completely normal, additional surveillance will be maintained in the affected areas and people will continue to be appealed to be cautious.
