China Honors Tibet Flood Victims as Authorities Pursue Misinformation Cases
(MENAFN) China holds memorial ceremonies for those killed in last week’s devastating floods and mudslides in Tibet, while authorities announce legal measures against individuals accused of spreading false information about the disaster’s death toll.
The ceremonies take place Tuesday morning in Gyirong County in the southwestern Xizang Autonomous Region, also known as Tibet, honoring victims of the disaster that struck on Aug. 26, according to reports.
Around 700 personnel are deployed to help restore access to the mudslide-damaged Gyirong border crossing with Nepal as recovery operations continue.
"Road repairs continue, rescuers have spent four consecutive days searching a 0.7-square-kilometer area around the border gate using life detectors and other equipment," said Norbu Tsering, deputy head of the emergency rescue headquarters and acting mayor of Xigaze City.
Meanwhile, China’s cybersecurity authorities announce 10 cases involving what they describe as online rumors concerning the mudslide that severely damaged Gyirong Port along the Nepal border.
The cases are disclosed as authorities step up efforts to control what they characterize as misinformation surrounding casualty figures and developments following the disaster.
