Ice, snow storm disrupts traffic, holiday travel plans
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-01-08 00:01 "Thanks to the previous storage of necessities, the normal lives of the displaced earthquake survivors would not be disrupted in the short term," said Lei Jianxin, vice county head of Beichuan. "Traffic is expected to resume in two weeks," he said. More than 220 people are working to get rid of the ice. Vehicles have to use a detour to reach Yuli, which is home to 1,400 people. Lei had no idea if any of them planned to travel for the festival. At the end of 2008, China's Ministry of Railways (MOR) released an emergency mechanism in preparation for possible severe weather such as snow storms and fog. "We will learn a lesson from last year and get prepared for the possible difficulty caused by the snow storm," said the MOR spokesman Wang Yongping.
