BEIJING, March 9 -- On March 7, a detachment of the Chinese People’s Armed Police (PAP) Force's Second Mobile Corps in Changdu, Xizang, rushed out to reopen the national highway blocked by snow in Basu County.

北京3月9日电  3月7日, 西藏昌都武警第二机动总队某支队紧急出动抢通八宿县境内因降雪受阻的国道。

On the early morning of March 7, heavy snowfall occurred in Changdu City under the influence of strong cold air, resulting in thick snow covering on the Yela Mountain Road section of the National Highway 318 line in Basu County, with an average thickness of 15 cm. Over 500 vehicles and more than 1,000 people were trapped therein.

3月7日凌晨,受强冷空气影响,西藏昌都出现大面积降雪天气,致使国道318线八宿县境内业拉山路段道路积雪,平均厚度15厘米,造成500余台过往车辆和1000余人受阻。

Upon hearing of the disaster, a detachment of the PAP Second Mobile Corps immediately sent professional forces and large rescue equipment such as snow throwers, snow clearer and bulldozers to the scene.

灾情发生后,武警第二机动总队某支队,迅速派出专业力量,出动抛雪机、推雪车、推土机等大型救援主战装备赶赴现场实施道路抢通作业。

As of 17:30 on the same day, the PAP troops had worked for seven consecutive hours, clearing more than 40,000 cubic meters of snow on the road, with over 20 kilometers of road open to traffic again. The road from Yela Mountain to Nujiang Valley along the National Highway 318 line blocked by snow had all been restored to traffic at last, and the stranded vehicles passed orderly under the direction of the PAP troops.

截至当日17时30分,武警官兵连续奋战7小时,累计清理道路积雪40000余立方米,抢通道路20多公里,因降雪受阻的国道318线业拉山至怒江沟段道路全部恢复通行,滞留车辆在武警官兵的指挥下有序通过。
