Ecuador Volcanic ash cleaning started

Cleaning work has been started in Ecuador’s Banos city where a volcano erupted two days ago. The Friday s eruption at the Tungurahua volcano hurled truck sized boulders around 2 km away. For the past 3 days Tungurahua volcano is spewing ash that has forced to close the schools. The city administration has started to clean the ash. At least 300 people have been evacuated from the region. Authorities are advising tourists not to visit the region. There is a temporary ban on tourists from visiting the Tungurahua volcano.
