BEIJING: Nearly 60 percent of the 270 flood-affected villages in Beijing’s districts including Fangshan, Mentougou, and Changping have restored power supply, said State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company on Sunday.
Fangshan and Mentougou are among the worst-affected areas in Beijing amid the latest round of rain-triggered floods.
