Recently, the topic of expanding the cemetery in violation of regulations and destroying the Laoshan Scenic Area in the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery in Chengyang District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province has aroused heated discussions among netizens. Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery is located in the new north of Laoshan Scenic Area, adjacent to Laoshan Reservoir.
According to public information, the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery has 87.35 acres of approved land, and its actual area is currently 913 acres, occupying a large amount of land in Laoshan Scenic Area in violation of regulations, and the land it occupies illegally originally had a large number of green plants on it. Judging from the map, the phenomenon of deforestation and digging of mountains and destruction of green plants in the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery is very obvious, and there is a trend of further expansion.
On the night of April 4, a local information circular was issued to investigate the matter.
Nowadays, it is basically true that the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery illegally occupies the green space of the scenic spot, and the dilemma is that the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery has sold more than 7,000 tombs through formal channels. Of the more than 7,000 tombs, at least 5,000 of them were built outside the approved land, according to the illegal occupation of the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery. If the illegal cemetery is cleared, it will inevitably affect these graves.
More than 5,000 graves, involving more than 5,000 families, and these families have paid money. According to the fee standard of the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery, these tombs range from 89,800 yuan to 718,000 yuan, and the price varies greatly depending on the location and orientation. Moreover, its management fee is a one-time payment of 200 yuan per year for 5 years.
When it comes to the disposal of such a large number of tombs, the difficulty can be imagined. Besides, where to move is not a simple question of one sentence, can so many families easily agree? After all, they are innocent, and they have also paid the money.
In fact, the illegal occupation of land and the destruction of greenery at the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery were discovered as early as 2003. However, the local approach is to end with a fine. This also led to the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery repeatedly violating the law to expand the scope of the cemetery, and in this way, the fine was expanded after the expansion, and the fine was expanded again after the fine, until today. It's hard to imagine that if this matter hadn't been exposed in large numbers, there would probably be another fine and it would have ended. Then the Taiping Mausoleum Cemetery began a new round of cemetery expansion. At the site, it can be found that a large amount of green plants have been destroyed and turned into the current bare hillside.
It is not difficult to restore the illegally occupied land in accordance with the law, but it involves 7,000 tombs that have been sold, which is the top priority of this disposal. How to let the people who have already bought the tomb accept the relocation of the cemetery is also a problem, and where to relocate is also a problem, after all, if such a large amount of land, even if the land is re-planned, from planning, approval, construction to use, it will not be completed in 3-5 years.
At the same time, in the face of 20 consecutive years of continuous illegal destruction of the scenic land, whether the local relevant departments are involved in serious dereliction of duty should also be the focus of this investigation and handling.
