According to the China Railway Nanchang Group Co., Ltd., on Saturday, 17 train trips through the provinces will be canceled as part of the response to flood control.

The company said it is closely monitoring potential risks brought by the heavy rainfall along the railways and mobilizing staff to guard the risk-prone areas around the clock.

The Ministry of Water Resources on Friday issued a Level-IV emergency response to flooding in provincial-level regions of Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou from Friday to Sunday. Heavy rain is projected to cause water levels in major rivers such as the Xijiang and Minjiang rivers to surpass warning thresholds.■
