Govt trucks dump trash in park

Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, has set up a working group to restore the environment in a park that has been used as a garbage dump by several government departments, the city's vice-mayor said.

According to Yin Zheqiang, the park will be restored within a week and the government departments involved will be punished.

Chen Xi, a resident of Huafu Imperial Garden, a residential community next to the park, said he must close all his windows to keep out the awful stink from the 70,000 metric tons of garbage.
