Beichuan relocation process completed

BEICHUAN, Sichuan: All 8,000 people who had been living in prefabricated housing, and subsequently tents, here since the May 12 quake, have been moved to new temporary housing, the Beichuan Party committee said on Monday.

The final 12 families moved on Sunday, bringing to an end the relocation process, Wen Gang, secretary of the committee's discipline inspection commission, said.

About 8,000 people had to be moved from their prefabricated homes and into tents in the village of Shengli following a rain-triggered landslide on Sept 28.
