Up to 1.3 million people in China's Sichuan Province have been ordered to evacuate to higher grounds for fear of a major "quake lake' burst as a result of flooding and strong aftershocks. Tan Li, Party Secretary of Mianyang City and chief of Mianyang City Quake Control and Relief Headquarters, on Friday issued an order that people living downstream from Tangjiashan, a swelling quake-induced lake, must evacuate. The mass evacuation, dubbed a "drill' by local government officials, is said to make way for a possible flood-discharging operation set for the weekend. In accordance with a notice posted by the Tongkou Township Government of Mianyang City, from Saturday onwards, people are banned from activities at a line below 36 meters
