In Liuxihe Village, Lianshui Town, Zheng District, Hanzhongnan, Shaanxi, a 92-year-old villager Liu, was fined for burning straw and fined 100 yuan, which caused a strong reaction on the Internet.
In response, village director Huang Hui responded that the situation was true, most of the people who burned the straw were the elderly, and it was difficult for oral education to achieve the goal, so he was allowed to write a review, and the fine was only a symbolic fine of 100 yuan, which served the purpose of warning education. The Lianshui town government responded that the relevant punishment measures were implemented in accordance with the document requirements of Nanzheng District and would report the matter to its superiors.
Villagers in Liuxi Village told reporters that the higher-level departments have investigated the burning of straw very strictly, no one in the village has ever been fined before, someone in a neighboring village has been fined, often there are cars that ban straw burning come to the village to publicize and educate, the village committee will also publicize the ban on straw burning through radio, WeChat group notifications and other means, once there is a situation of burning straw correctly, it will soon be discovered.
Huang Hui, the village director, said that the old man's punishment is the first case in the village this year, and the old man himself knows that burning straw will be fined, not just this year began to publicize and educate, after punishing the elderly, the punishment situation was reported to the villagers, hoping to play a warning and education purpose, I don't know why the picture will spread on the Internet.
It is reported that the straw burning ban in Nanzheng District is mainly responsible for the Nanzheng Branch of the Hanzhong Ecological Environment Bureau and its subordinate straw burning ban office, the staff of the Nanzheng Ecological and Environmental Branch said that the burning of straw affects the atmospheric environment, the city's inspection team often goes to the village and town to inspect, once found will be fed back to the district, the district will then notify the village and town leaders to investigate and report the processing results.
It is true that burning straw affects the atmospheric environment, but have you ever considered the problem of villagers dealing with straw, you can't move it all home or discard it on the side of the road, since burning is prohibited, you should provide villagers with treatment methods, such as making feed, handicrafts, etc., teaching crafts or establishing treatment factories, which can not only solve the problem, but also increase farmers' income, rather than banning it.
After the incident, the official response was that the township party committee and government attached great importance to correcting the improper law enforcement of the Liuxihe village committee, and returned the 100 yuan that Liu had been fined, the township discipline inspection committee admonished Huang, who was in charge of the village committee's work, and the deputy secretary of the township party committee went to the door to apologize to Liu and obtain his understanding.
But from another point of view, the practice of the chairman of the village committee is completely implemented in accordance with the documents of the higher-level departments, and the above forces the ban on straw burning, and if it is not implemented below, it will be his own problem in the end, so why not solve the problem from the root?
Mainland thermal power generation accounts for about 70%, the waste gas produced does not know how many times that of burning straw, many illegal farms, the waste water, waste pollution to the environment is not small, some chemical plants illegal sewage discharge, affecting a large area of the ecological environment.
Environmental protection departments should strictly investigate and deal with these behaviors, rather than staring at the people, banning burning is no problem, and must first come up with a solution to replace incineration.
