A village that disappeared into a giant sinkhole caused by mining excesses will be rebuilt, officials said Friday.
The reconstruction of the community in Hunan province means its 154 inhabitants will soon get new roofs over their heads, thanks to the government-funded plan.
Guoguang village in Baiguo township was severely damaged after subsidence caused by rampant gypsum mining damaged 33 homes and completely destroyed 10.
