Sudden strong winds capsized four tourist boats in China's Guizhou province, leaving ten dead, and dozens injured, prompting a major rescue operation and calls for improved safety measures.
Ten people died after four tourist boats capsized during sudden strong winds in southwestern China, according to state media reports on Monday. The incident, which occurred in Guizhou province on Sunday afternoon, plunged 84 people into the water.
Rescue efforts led to the successful recovery of 74 individuals, while nearly 500 emergency personnel were deployed to assist in the operation, Xinhua News Agency reported. Of those rescued, 70 were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on local authorities to “do everything possible” to locate the missing person and ensure the safety of survivors. He also urged officials to strengthen safety regulations at tourist attractions and public venues in light of the rising number of such incidents.
The cause of the capsizing has been attributed to the sudden onset of strong winds, and an investigation is expected to follow to determine whether appropriate safety protocols were in place at the time.
