China's State Council on Sunday said it would set up a work team to probe the restaurant blast that killed 31 people in northwest China.
The blast occurred on Wednesday evening at Fuyang Barbecue Restaurant on a busy street in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, when liquefied petroleum gas leaked from the restaurant, leaving 31 dead and seven injured.
The team held the first meeting on Sunday morning, during which Song Yuanming, head of the team and vice minister of the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM), set out the investigation arrangements and put forward the work requirements.
He called for efforts to identify the cause of the explosion scientifically, determine responsibilities accurately, and eliminate major risks and hazards swiftly.
The team is led by the MEM, with the participation of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Market Regulation, All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the National Fire and Rescue Administration and the Ningxia government.
