On June 5, Chen Jinhu, secretary of the municipal party committee, went to the city's water conservancy hub and agricultural machinery cooperative to investigate flood prevention and drought control, summer harvest and summer planting work, emphasizing the need to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on disaster prevention, mitigation and relief work and important expositions on food security, adhere to the people's supremacy and life first, keep in mind the "great of the country", resolutely guard the bottom line of flood and drought disaster defense, insist on paying equal attention to ensuring safety and harvest, and ensure the safety of rivers, social tranquility and people's well-being.
In order to effectively solve the flood prevention and drainage problem in the areas on both sides of the South Tongzi River and ensure the safety of flood prevention and drainage in key areas such as Beigang Industrial Zone in Zhonglou District, Future Education Port, and Zhongwu Livable Area, Zhonglou District implemented the South Tongzihe Lock Station Project in 2021, and the project was completed in April this year. The flood control standard of the South Tongzi River reaches once in 200 years, and the drainage standard is once in 20 years. Chen Jinhu pointed out that it is necessary to tighten the string of flood prevention and drought control at all times, strictly implement the duty duty system, pay close attention to changes in rain, water and flood conditions, actively respond to extreme weather, improve emergency response plans, implement various measures for flood prevention and drought control, resolutely guard the bottom line of water safety and water environment safety, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
At the Xinmeng River Benniu Hub and the Wunan River Interchange Hub, Chen Jinhu learned in detail about the operation capacity of the project and the flood prevention and drought control work. He pointed out that flood prevention and drought control are related to the safety of people's lives and property, and are an important task to ensure development, people's livelihood, safety, and the bottom line. All levels and departments should solidly carry out the tasks of flood prevention and drought control, conscientiously carry out pre-flood inspections, pay close attention to key parts such as river embankments, reservoir locks and dams, water conservancy projects, and urban drainage pipe networks, carry out comprehensive and systematic inspections, and promptly rectify the hidden dangers found to ensure flood safety. It is necessary to further improve the linkage mechanism between early warning and response, improve the city's ability to release early warning information on meteorological disasters, prepare sufficient flood prevention and rescue materials, enrich all kinds of emergency rescue forces, and ensure that when a dangerous situation occurs, it can be pulled, withheld, and won.
This year, the city continued to optimize the planting layout, on the basis of planting wheat, develop characteristic grains according to local conditions, and make every effort to plant enough summer grain area. According to the agricultural situation scheduling data, the city's summer grain production has achieved "three increases", and the summer planting area has increased steadily. The wheat harvest in the city basically ended on June 5, and the rice planting work is proceeding in an orderly manner. In the intelligent family farm of the former Huangzhen Lichen Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, rice transplanters loaded with seedlings shuttled through the fields and sowed seeds in an orderly manner, presenting a busy scene. Chen Jinhu came to the field and had face-to-face exchanges with farm leaders and farmers, and learned in detail about the progress of summer harvest and summer planting, grain purchase and reserves, and farmers' income. When he learned that the responsible family has been engaged in agricultural production for more than 30 years, and actively drives the surrounding areas to achieve agricultural efficiency and farmers' income, Chen Jinhu thanked them for their contributions to the development of modern agriculture in Changzhou, and hoped to continue to play a leading and exemplary role, increase the promotion and application of informatization, intelligence and modern agricultural machinery and equipment, and improve the level of agricultural science and technology and mechanization. All levels and departments should resolutely shoulder the major political responsibility for food security, vigorously, high-quality, and regionalized the construction of high-standard farmland, increase the dispatch of agricultural conditions, ensure the stable supply of grain and important agricultural products, and guard the bottom line of food security. It is necessary to make every effort to ensure services, accelerate agricultural scientific and technological innovation and the transformation of achievements, improve the mechanism for linking farmers and rich peasants in the agricultural belt, and continuously improve the efficiency of agricultural production and the income of the peasant masses.
