Geelong /Sichuan/, August 30 /Xinhua/ — Communication signal reception has been ensured in the main rescue area near the Geelong border checkpoint in the Sichuan Autonomous Region /Southwest China/, affected by a mudslide. This information was confirmed by local authorities on Sunday.

The head of the regional communications department, Nima Tobgyal, told a Xinhua correspondent that telephone contact has already been established with the rescuers stationed in the Gyirong checkpoint area using the recently constructed communication base station.

The first emergency cellular base station, located near this border checkpoint, was put into operation on Sunday at 13:30. To date, operators in Sijazan have restored one damaged base station and installed eight more new ones near the disaster-affected checkpoint. –0–
