Bao Shuding, mayor of Chongqing, returned from his business trip and arrived at the venue this afternoon. A team of rescuers, including 300 armed police and People's Liberation Army soldiers, rushed to the spot right after the incident and worked around the clock there.
Experts believe the landslide was caused by loosened earth as a result of an overnight rain.
