Chapter 1114 Sudden Exit
Starting in April. It seems that there is a lot of trouble in the industry! Autumn. "
On April 2, a gas explosion occurred at the coal mining surface of the butterfly mine in Yifeng County, Yichun Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. This is a private butterfly mine, killing 16 people.
On April 7, an accident occurred at the Luling Coal Mine of Anhui Huaibei Mining Group, a state-owned mine. Thirteen people died and many others were poisoned and suffocated due to faulty technology and design.
On April 8, before the Anhui mining disaster was resolved, a gas explosion occurred at the coal face in the fifth mining area of the Donghai Coal Mine of the Jixi Mining Bureau in Heilongjiang, killing 24 people and seriously injuring 37 others.
This was a major casualty accident caused by a violation of operating procedures. On April 2, when a worker at the coal mining face was collecting materials from the corner stone wall, he fired a paste cannon, which caused the gas to burn in the empty area. After the fire was discovered, , the on-site workers immediately used the emulsion mercury station hydraulic gun to directly extinguish the fire, put out the open flame, and completed the sealing of the working surface.
On April 8, the first large gas explosion occurred in the closed working surface. Since all underground workers were evacuated after the sealing, no casualties were caused. This explosion destroyed the closed air door of the return air lane, and the air inlet The alley closure damper was opened, and it was decided to carry out thorough reinforcement and sealing measures again. They organized manpower to prepare materials for construction. However, a few hours later, the mine dispatch received a call from underground. The wind flow was reversed at the bottom of the shaft and there was a lot of smoke in the tunnel. There was another gas explosion in the goaf.
Continuous mining disasters make senior officials worried. The local government has just adopted a low-key approach, so ordinary people do not know this news, but it is in an inconspicuous place on a domestic portal website. By chance, a post appeared, revealing the mining accidents and the mysterious blockade by the local government.
Although the post appeared and was deleted immediately. But this matter was learned by Tong Yushan, who had already communicated with the girl Xiaoyun, and he Lixuan felt that this was an opportunity for him to intervene forcefully.
After Tong Yushan's arrangement, an article titled "Mining Disaster Frequency, Government Officials Are the Cause of Disaster" appeared on the pages of major websites, and the signature was clearly Tong Yushan himself.
In the article, Tong Yushan recounted many mining accidents over the years. There is a common characteristic behind these accidents. Almost every accident is closely related to the official crimes committed by government officials.
He believes that although senior management is very concerned about mining accidents and has made many arrangements for safety production matters, mining accidents still occur frequently. The reason why it is difficult to cure is probably not only the mine itself, but also directly related to the corrupt behavior of government officials.
According to intelligence, a coal mine in a certain province in central China actually concealed six mining accidents in less than two months. In addition to the mine owner's problems, local officials' acceptance of bribes and compensation and protection also had a lot to do with it.
Faced with the severe production safety situation and the illegal activities that concealed many mining accidents,
Tong Yushan said that it was time to investigate further. What role did officials from government departments play behind the butterfly mine accident? What role are they playing? Their corruption and dereliction of duty are the real causes of the mining accident.
Of course, after the opening of Tong Yushan's article, what followed were detailed reports on previous mining accidents, as well as the government's handling measures, etc. Obviously, in addition to a strong attack, Tong Yushan also had to Show the government's attention to mining disasters and care for miners.
Tong Yushan's article has aroused great concern, especially among netizens who believe that as a senior official in charge of publicity work, Tong Yushan can not only cover the lid, but also dig into the reasons for the frequent mining accidents. It is commendable to point out the hidden rules and corruption behind the mining accident. Everyone hopes to see that the Propaganda Department under the leadership of Tong Yushan can make a meaningful voice.
This is probably a rare voice from the government that netizens agree with. Therefore, while paying attention, senior officials also believe that it is much better to proactively announce the handling of some sensitive incidents, conduct in-depth investigation of their causes, and reflect the government's remedial role in it, rather than being exposed and concealing the accident, especially when The handling of corruption problems can serve as a warning to other grassroots cadres, which can at least alleviate corruption and reduce mine disasters.
This idea is also derived after the senior management has a full understanding of the current situation.
of.
After all, with the popularity of the Internet, it is becoming more and more difficult to cover the lid. Instead of doing this, it is better to disclose everything yourself, which is better than being more passive.
Just when Tong Yushan's article aroused a lot of criticism in the official circles, and it was believed that he was trying to undermine everyone, four major mining disasters occurred in late April, each with a death toll of 20 to 30 people. The losses were heavy, and the investigation of the incident All showed that there were adulteration issues in none of them, which immediately silenced those who accused Tong Yu and Shan.
Tong Yushan then published another targeted article, in which he stated. Let death no longer be a major event in the past monthnbsp;nbsp;"
“We can see several massive safety production inspections on TV every year, as well as solemn announcements of resolute removal of unqualified coal mines and serious punishment of relevant responsible persons.
Especially in the year 2001, this power of leadership authority has been used to the extreme. However. Several consecutive mining accidents that occurred this month showed that there is such a serious deviation between subjective efforts and objective results.
"The authority of human governance has been eliminated by the diversified interest orientations in real life after the introduction of market economy. However, the path dependence on leadership authority continues and is further strengthened. For a society, authority The lack of is a more serious problem than **.”
"Currently, official media states that China's butterfly mortality rate per million tons is eleven times higher than Russia's. Fifteen times higher than India, and one hundred and eighty-two times higher than the United States. However, experts point out that these figures are lower than the actual death toll. . Because after a disaster, the most direct choice for some mine owners and local governments is to conceal it. Like last year’s Nandan mining disaster, attempts by officials and businessmen to collude and deceive others are also common in the butterfly mining industry.
"A coal mine accident that kills two or three people at a time is very common here. It doesn't matter if there are less than ten people. The mine owner can just pay 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. An internal report that has been semi-public excerpted a safety report from a provincial government. According to materials issued by the inspection team, there were 42 fatal accidents involving 71 people in small drying kilns in a certain city in the province last year. However, there were only two fatal accidents involving 10 people reported to the province throughout the year. In the first two months of this year, there were dozens of fatal accidents at Xiaozhi coal mines in the city, killing hundreds of people. The result was an unreported accident.
"If we only look at the official figures, the safety production situation of coal mines this year is still good, at least there is a significant numerical improvement compared with previous years."
"But numbers cannot replace reality. For those in the industry, absolute death numbers cannot explain the problem. The standard for measuring the safety of a country's coal mines is the death rate per million tons. The suppression of production starting in 1998 has reduced the number of small coal mines across the country. The number has been reduced by three-quarters and the production has been reduced by two-thirds. In this sense, the security situation is still significantly deteriorating.”
"For people who don't understand professional vocabulary, the most intuitive impression is that major safety accidents in coal mines occur one after another, over and over again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again. The frequency is so high that people have become numb to the deaths in strange towns.
"And all of this happened precisely after the determination to resolutely remove the cover and the results reported."
"After this series of heavy blows, the person in charge of the coal mine and the relevant local departments concealed the accident and failed to report it. That is very problematic."
Tong Yushan's series of articles obviously had an effect. A few days later, the first director of the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau of the State Butterfly Mine Safety Supervision Bureau accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. He said that currently, the vast majority of butterfly mines in townships across the country have ceased operations. Production. There are nearly 30,000 mines out of business.
The Xinhua News Agency article finally couldn't hold back here, and in an extremely rare move, it added a bracket to the authority's words, "The above situation seems to be inconsistent with the reporter's undercover investigation."
Of course, it’s not a pleasant feeling to be slapped in the face by the reality after making big talk. After a series of major gas explosion accidents, the leaders of various provinces were tired of rushing to the scene of the accident to denounce and shed tears. On the one hand, he ordered dismissals and arrests, while on the other hand, he continued to give orders and convened various meetings to continue to denounce and shed tears.
"Your father chose this incident well. He also chose the time well, and it scratched the itch of the senior management." Fan Wubing said this to Tong Yun when he evaluated Tong Yushan's actions.
In fact, recently. Mining accidents are frequent, and the senior management is already very annoyed, but they just can't find a suitable breakthrough. Although the coal mine closure work has been going on, the effect is not visible. Things that should be stopped have not been stopped, and things that should be closed have not been closed. Officials* and businessmen* colluded to hide the superiors and bully the subordinates, which has aroused public anger.
This time Tong Yushan suddenly made a strong attack, which not only grabbed the attention, but also showed that the positioning of the propaganda department has changed, from covering the lid to guiding.
However, many people have expressed concerns about Tong Yushan's actions, thinking that this is not what a mouthpiece should do. Tong Yushan's career may have some problems. Let's see what happens to him in the future?
Fan Wubing had no worries about this. Because he knows very well that the top management is also seeking changes now. With more grassroots support. Although Tong Yushan's approach is a bit abrupt, in terms of effect, it is good for the authority of the top management. At least he strongly expressed the central government's determination on this issue. "
