At present, the construction personnel of the on-site dangerous section of the Naringele River Hub Construction Administration, the personnel related to the second- and third-level power stations of the Naringele River Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., and the downstream villagers of Wutumeiren Township have been evacuated.
