Due to coal extraction, more than 300 hectares of land including farms, forest and barren mountain has been mined. Yuan Chunqing, a deputy of the National People's Congress and Party chief of Shanxi, said the province will conduct monitoring of sinkholes in coal mining areas at a cost of 24 billion yuan. The whole project is due to be finished by 2020. [Photo/Xinhua] |
