The province has been battling freezing weather since Dec 31, which is affecting more than 160 million residents and causing a direct economic loss of more than 70 million yuan (US$10.62 million). Icy roads are causing traffic gridlocks. Provincial weather authorities have launched an emergency response plan for disaster relief work. [Xinhua] |
