Over 1,500 people and 300 vehicles were stranded after rain-triggered mudslides halted traffic in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
Two rain-triggered mudslides, which occurred successively after 9:30 pm (local time) yesterday, stopped traffic on a road section in Bomi's Niutagou region, rescuers said today.
The mudslides blocked over 1,500 people and 300 vehicles on the road, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
There were no reports of casualties so far.
The debris flow, about 12,000 cubic meters, covered a road section of about 120 meters.
Rescuers and large equipment have been sent to clear the road.
