Residents living in a quake-hit county on the China-Nepal border are being relocated ahead of the upcoming rainy season.
Feng Luwei is an official with Nyalam County in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region,
"To prepare for the upcoming rainy season, the county's government has found a total of 148 empty and low-rent houses in safe areas. After the plan has been evaluated by experts, we will
relocate 211 families, including 667 residents, to these houses. They can move back to their new homes when we finish the reconstruction,"
Many houses in Nyalam County in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region were damaged in the Nepal Earthquake last month. Many residents have since been staying at temporary camps.
Located at an altitude of 4,000 meters and with an average annual rainfall of 2,000 millimeters, the county officially entered its rainy season in May.
