Zhuozhou City Embarks on Extensive Street Cleaning After Devastating Floods
One month after severe floods struck north China’s Hebei Province, the city of Zhuozhou is undertaking a massive street cleaning effort to restore normalcy. While the main dredging work in the province is nearing completion, the streets of Zhuozhou remain blanketed with dust and debris.
Cleaning teams equipped with large water trucks are meticulously washing the city’s roads, aiming to remove the residual dust that has settled after the floods. This extensive cleaning operation is a crucial step in the post-disaster reconstruction process, helping to revive the city’s infrastructure and improve living conditions for its residents.
“Restoring our city to its former state is our top priority,” said a member of the cleaning crew. “We are working tirelessly to ensure the streets are clean and safe for everyone.”
The floods, which were among the worst the region has experienced in recent years, caused significant damage to homes, businesses, and public facilities. The local government’s swift response in organizing clean-up efforts reflects a commitment to rebuilding and supporting the affected communities.
CGTN is providing live coverage of the street cleaning operations, highlighting the collective efforts of workers and volunteers dedicated to the city’s recovery.
Zhuozhou’s residents are hopeful that these efforts will soon restore normal life. The city’s businesses are beginning to reopen, and there is a sense of solidarity as the community pulls together to overcome the aftermath of the natural disaster.
