The military area commands of Chengdu and Tibet launched an emergency response. China's Central Military Commission ordered the immediate deployment of rescue teams in Nepal, with four IL-76 transport planes dispatched to help relief work. The China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR), a medical team from the Chengdu Military Area Command, a sapper team and a chemical response team from the 14th Group Army of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) went to Nepal. Meanwhile, a transport team from the Chinese Armed Police Force was assigned to repair the road connecting Katmandu and Zham, a border pass connecting Nepal and Tibet. The troops brought hope to people in the quake-hit area.
