In recent days, the saying that "landslides are related to coal mine gas explosion" has been circulating in Gaopo Village, Zhu Guo Township, Zhenxiong County. On the afternoons of 20 13, 1, 13, Lei Chuying, member of the Standing Committee of Zhenxiong County Committee and deputy county magistrate, led the heads of relevant departments at the county level to meet with more than 30 relatives of victims and representatives of the affected people to explain relevant issues of concern to the masses.

Lei Chuying said that the geological disaster emergency expert group sent by the Yunnan Provincial Department of Land and Resources made a conclusion on the cause of the landslide after on-site investigation and investigation, which has been announced to the public. This disaster is a natural disaster caused by continuous rain and snow under special geological and geomorphological conditions.

Zeng Deyong, director of the Coal Industry Bureau of Zhenxiong County, said that the spread of disasters among villagers is related to coal mines, which is considered to be caused by gas explosion in coal mines, which is actually impossible. He analyzed several specific reasons: First, the nearest Gaopo coal mine is 500 meters away from the landslide zone, and the mining direction is facing the landslide zone. Other coal mines are four or five kilometers away; Second, the amount of landslides reached 2 1 1,000 cubic meters. If coal mine gas explosion wants to release such a large amount of energy, it needs about 200,000 cubic meters of gas capacity, and Gaopo coal mine is far from such a large mine hole. Thirdly, according to common sense, if the soil is sprayed out after a coal mine explosion, there must be coal mines and coal gangue in the soil, but from the landslide site, there are no coal mines and coal gangue at all.

Zeng Deyong said: "I am from Zengjiazhai, Gaopo Village, and some of the victims are relatives of my family. This disaster makes us very sad. However, experts have come to a conclusion about the cause of the disaster. I hope that everyone believes in science, experts, party committees and governments, and don't listen to and spread rumors.
