At 7:15 yesterday morning, the 110 kv Jianyi power transmission line of the Fuzhou Power Grid in Jiangxi Province was restored power transmission after 22 days of hard efforts of 2,100 militiamen in the Fuzhou Military Sub-Command and local power technical workers. According to the State Grid Corporation, this is the last county-level grid in the disaster-stricken areas, which had been disconnected with main grid due to snow-triggered disasters, to be re-linked with the main power grid.

　　On Jan.28, due to continuous snowy weather, the operation of 110kv Jianyi power transmission line from Fuzhou to Yihuang broke down and the whole Yihuang County became wrapped in complete darkness. In the face of the disaster, the Fuzhou Military Sub-Command promptly organized militiamen and reservists in Linchuan, Yihuang and Nancheng Counties to work hard in partnership with the provincial power company, local governments, and local people to repair power grids and restore power transmission.

　　At 19:00 on Feb.16, the people who were repairing power transmission lines were told to complete the restoration of power transmission with four naked lines before daybreak of Feb.17. The militiamen and reservists worked hard on that night and accomplished the task before 03:30 and power supply to Yihuang County has now been restored.
