At least four road construction workers were killed and at least 50 others injured yesterday in a massive landslide, triggered by heavy rain in Kangding county of the Garze Tibetan autonomous prefecture(自治县) in Sichuan province. Authorities launched a State-level emergency response system and task force yesterday evening to help deal with the disaster, an official with the Ministry of Civil Affairs said.

Rescuers saved 97 workers trapped at the site, where a landslide-formed lake holding about 3 million cubeof water and mud had already formed to threaten the area, authorities said. Four of the injured workers were sent to hospital for treatment. As of late yesterday, rescuers were still looking for missing workers amid the inclement weather. The workers, employed by the China Road and Bridge Corporation, as well as the Sino-hydro Bureaus Seventh Co. Ltd., were working on Kangdings No. 211 provincial expressway when the landslide occurred at about 3 am yesterday, an official with the provincial disaster relief headquarters said. A 3-km section of the expressway was also buried by rock and mud, while the local power supply was cut off for hours due to the disaster, the State-run China National Radio network reported.

The Sichuan meteorological bureau predicted that the heavy rain that hit the region last weekend would continue for the next few days. Heavy rain also hindered the rescue of 23 miners trapped since Wednesday midnight after a small coal mine flooded in Heilongjiang province, reported an official with the State Administration of Work Safety.

The weeklong torrential storms in the region caused the Xinyongfeng Coal Mine in Jixi city to flood and trap 24 miners, an official with the administration said. One miner was able to escape from the shaft, said Zhao Xinzhi, spokesman for the citys coal mine safety bureau. The licensed mine in Jixi, a major coal producing city, had an annual production capacity of 90,000 tons. Authorities have closed it because it failed to meet safety standards but it was reopened last Saturday.

The accident came just one day after the State Councils Commission for Work Safety issued an emergency warning, asking coal mines nationwide to be aware of coal mine flooding amid extreme weather such as heavy rain.

Zhu Deyi, a senior party official of Jixi, also toured coal mines in the region on Wednesday, in which he stressed work safety. The city became one of the nations priorities for coal mine safety education this April because of its history of being hit by coal mine disasters. Before the Jixi flooding, four miners were killed and 19 others were missing in southern China in three separate mine flooding disasters in one month.
