Fallen building's ex-tenants unhappy with compensation

Residents get lump sum, yearlong subsidy, but no cash for lost property

The remnants of a collapsed building that claimed one life and injured six people on Friday in Fenghua, Zhejiang province, were brought down on Monday, as residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the amount of compensation they have been offered by the local government.

According to a statement released by Fenghua officials, each of the 40 families that occupied the building will be paid 3,000 yuan ($484), and each family member will receive another 8,000 yuan.
