The central government plans to strengthen efforts to control sandstorms and prevent environmental degradation in Beijing and Tianjin in the coming decade, according to a State Council statement on Wednesday.
Members at an executive meeting presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao discussed and passed the second-stage work plan for the Beijing-Tianjin Sandstorm Control Program (2013-22).
The statement said Shaanxi will be included in the program in 2013, as it is a source of sandstorms of the two metropolises.
