CCTV News:Slow action, failure to take responsibility, and passing the buck are all formalistic and bureaucratic problems that are strongly reflected by the people at present. The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Tianmen City, Hubei Province recently investigated and dealt with such problems, and more than ten responsible persons of four related units were dealt with.
The masses reported that the road was difficult to complete and it was difficult to travel.
Zhang Guangcai, a group of villagers in Wangfu Village, Tuoshi Town, Tianmen City, Hubei Province: "It turned out that it was inconvenient for us to go this way, and we had to cross the river and take a long detour. Now this road is more convenient after it is repaired, and it is easier to go anywhere."
Zhang Guangcai Kouzhong Road is a section of Hubei Provincial Highway "Passenger Submerged Line" in Tuoshi Town, Tianmen City, with a total length of 1.9 kilometers, which belongs to the "Twelfth Five-Year" development plan of Hubei Province and will be completed in 2016 as planned. But such a project that benefits the people has missed the completion deadline. What’s going on? Things have to start with the masses’ feedback received by Tianmen Municipal Committee and Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection last year.
In April 2017, a clue reflecting the delay in completing the "passenger submarine line" of the provincial highway in Tianmen City, Hubei Province in Tuoshi Town, which made it difficult for people to travel, was handed over to the Tianmen Municipal Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Tianmen City Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately formed an investigation team for verification.
Wang Shengfeng, Director of the Fifth Room of the Supervision Committee of Tianmen City Commission for Discipline Inspection, Hubei Province: "This highway was established in June 2014 in Tianmen City. In December 2014, Tianmen Highway Bureau and Tuo Town Government signed an agreement on cooperative construction."
Lack of communication leads to the failure of land acquisition procedures.
The investigation team learned that in March 2015, the Tuo Town Government started the land acquisition and subgrade construction of this road, but the project was soon stopped by the land department.
Chen Xianhui, Deputy Mayor of Tuoshi Town, Tianmen City, Hubei Province: "The land department came over and said that the land acquisition procedures for this land had not been completed, so we were asked to stop work, so we stopped work."
Why are there incomplete land acquisition procedures for highway projects that were approved in 2014? The investigation team went to Tianmen Highway Bureau to understand, and the explanation given by the Highway Bureau was that an agreement on cooperative construction was signed with Tuo Town Government at that time, and the town government was responsible for the preliminary work, and the materials preparation and approval for land acquisition were given to them.
Wang Huashan, former director of Tianmen Highway Bureau, Hubei Province: "This piece of preliminary consideration was requested by the township, so we thought that the township was in charge of this piece."
In fact, this road built in Tuoshi Town belongs to the provincial highway. According to the regulations, the main body of road construction should be Tianmen Highway Bureau, and all procedures including approval, land acquisition and construction should be completed by the Highway Bureau. Tuo Town Government didn’t have the corresponding qualifications, so it could only assist in the work. Therefore, the town government didn’t go through the examination and approval procedures of the newspaper materials at all. Without asking whether the procedures were complete, it started construction directly, and was finally stopped by the land department.
After the meeting, the road construction was delayed again and again.
Due to insufficient communication between Tianmen Highway Bureau and Tuo Town Government, and even mutual prevarication, the land acquisition procedures for road construction have not been handled. The town government reported the shutdown to the higher authorities, and soon the municipal government took the lead in coordination.
According to the results of coordination, the provincial highway in Tuoshi Town was implemented by Tianmen City Transportation Department as the main body, and the land acquisition procedures were also undertaken by the transportation department. The specific work was carried out by Tianmen City Highway Bureau, and the Tuoshi Town Government fully cooperated.
Chen Xianhui, Deputy Mayor of Tuoshi Town, Tianmen City, Hubei Province: "We have handed all the data and related information to the transportation department, which will handle the land acquisition work. We will wait for the notice from the transportation department before we start work, and we have never been informed of this since."
From the opening of the coordination meeting in October 2015 to the report by the masses in April 2017, this section of the road in Tuoshi Town has never completed the relevant procedures. During these 18 months, what has Tianmen Highway Bureau been doing?
During the in-depth inspection by the Municipal Highway Bureau, the investigation team learned that this section of the road in Tuoshi Town is only a part of the "passenger submarine line" of the provincial highway, and the whole line also involves jingshan county next door. Tianmen Highway Bureau must go to jingshan county to collect the information of the corresponding roads in order to complete the approval of land acquisition and other materials, and the procedure is cumbersome. At that time, Tianmen Highway Bureau had four other highways with relatively simple procedures to go through the formalities for approval at the same time. With the idea that it was easy before it was difficult, the Municipal Highway Bureau put aside the work of data preparation and reporting for this section of highway in Tuoshi Town.
In this way, due to the inaction and slowness of Tianmen Highway Bureau, the collection and approval of land acquisition data of Tuoshi section of "Passenger Submersible Line" has been slowed down again and again, resulting in the failure to start construction of the highway, and finally missed the stipulated time limit for completion at the end of 2016.
Those responsible for lazy politics are severely punished.
It was supposed to be a project to benefit the people, but it was missed because of the laziness of Tianmen Highway Bureau, which caused dissatisfaction among the people.
Wang Shengfeng, Director of the Fifth Room of the Supervision Committee of Tianmen City Commission for Discipline Inspection, Hubei Province: "We think that the Municipal Highway Bureau is slow in its work, does not take responsibility, and does not put the sufferings of the masses in the first place. It is an act of laziness and a kind of bureaucracy and formalism."
At present, the Tianmen Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has seriously dealt with the relevant responsible persons of the four responsible units, namely, the Municipal Transportation Bureau, the Municipal Highway Bureau, the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau and the Tuo Town Government. Among them, 3 people were given disciplinary action and 11 people were organized to deal with it. Wang Huashan, the former director of Tianmen Highway Bureau, had an important leadership responsibility, was warned by the party and was dismissed.
Subsequently, under the supervision of the Tianmen Municipal Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Tianmen Highway Bureau quickly completed the collection and approval procedures for the relevant materials of the "Passenger Submerged Line" Tuoshi Highway section, and restarted the highway construction. Now, the road has been completed, and it is much more convenient for local people to travel.
Zhang Chengcheng, a villager in the second group of Wangfu Village, Tuoshi Town, Tianmen City, Hubei Province: "It’s all extending in all directions, and there are no obstacles to influence at all. It’s quite good."
After the investigation of the case, Tianmen Municipal Committee and Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took the lead in carrying out special actions to rectify the outstanding problems of formalism and bureaucracy, conducted in-depth investigations, and found and rectified 85 related problems.
