Beijing, March 19 (KCNA) -- Soldiers in Beijing and Lanzhou military areas of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (CPLA) are rendering help in digging wells as part of measures against drought damage in Shandong, Henan and Hebei provinces of the country.

38 wells had been sunk in those provinces by more than 1,000 service persons of the CPLA in the above-said areas as of Mar. 10.
