(Reuters) – China’s Shandong provincial authorities have sacked two top government officials in the city of Qixia following Sunday’s explosion at a gold mine in the area that left 22 workers missing, state media reported on Friday.
The fate of the workers at Hushan mine remains unclear. Their communications system was damaged by the blast.
The Shandong provincial government decided to dismiss Qixia Communist Party Secretary Yao Xiuxia and Deputy Secretary Zhu Tao, who also served as mayor, state broadcaster CCTV said.
Li Bo, deputy mayor of Yantai, which oversees Qixia, would act as Qixia party secretary, CCTV added.
