The Shigatse detachment of the Xizang Armed Police Corps has been racing against time to set up cotton tents in areas affected by the earthquake in Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region, to ensure a warm winter for quake-affected people, CCTV News reported.
The quake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck Dingri county in Shigatse, at 9:05 am on Tuesday, with the death toll of 126 and 188 injuries as of 7 pm.
At a resettlement site in Changsuo township, Dingri county, members of the police officer corps, braving chilling cold, set up tents throughout the night. They worked in an organized and efficient manner: transporting tent materials, fixing the frames and laying moisture-proof pads.
