The heavy downpours, which started early Tuesday and are expected to continue in the coming days, have forced thousands to evacuate. Authorities of the rescue operation have dispatched troops for disaster relief work and people from all circles have also pitched in. At least 81 have been killed following multiple quakes that struck the province on Friday. [Photo/Xinhua]
