Aid plan for resettled residents

At least 1 million people, mostly dwellers in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, have made way for the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric project.

Now the local government is paving the way for a better life for the resettled residents, at least one out of 10 of whom are unemployed.

The announcement was made yesterday by Wang Hongju, mayor of a city which, formerly a part of Sichuan Province, became the largest municipality directly under the central government exactly 10 years ago.
