KUNMING, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Governments, companies, universities and individuals have been offering donations and assistance to the quake-stricken area in southwest China's Yunnan Province after the disaster happened on Sunday.

The provincial civil affairs department had received more than 17 million yuan as of Tuesday afternoon, which was donated by the Ministry of Railways, Beijing municipal government, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, among others.

The Yunnan branch of China Development Bank has loaned 30 million yuan to Pu'er city government on Tuesday for emergency relief.

On Tuesday, power supplies were restored in most of the villages in Ning'er County.

"The quake destroyed the grid network in the counties of Ning'er, Mojiang and Jinggu, the worst case in nearly a decade," said Zhao Jianning, deputy general manager of Yunnan Power Grid Company, which donated one million yuan to the stricken area on Tuesday.

The company worked out four emergency schemes to ensure power supplies for the seat of Ning'er County immediately when the disaster took place.

Staff from Zhao's company were arranged at hospitals, public areas and rescue operation headquarters around the clock.
