In recent years, domestic mining disasters have occurred frequently, and mining disasters have become the focus of public opinion. As a result, the Dongsheng Coal Mine gas explosion accident has attracted extensive coverage from provincial media and other municipal media, and most of the media have focused on "concealment" and "collusion between government and coal".

On the morning of August 3, Peng Yuanzheng's office.

Peng Yuanzheng stared at a Jiangbei Evening News on the table, and the shocking blockbuster report on the front page of the first page made him frown.

"Concealment! The gas explosion of Dongsheng Coal Mine in Xin'an City killed 32 people! ”

The report is set off with a big black headline, giving people a strong sense of visual impact.

"On August 1, on the road in Haidai Town, Xin'an District, Xin'an City, the coal trucks that used to be very busy disappeared. If it weren't for the mourning music that sounded in several places at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, no one would have thought that in the Dongsheng coal mine gas accident that occurred on July 30, 32 young adults were killed in the village and nearby villages. ”

"This is an extremely egregious case of cover-up. The mining accident occurred at around 2 p.m. on July 30, and the Xin'an Municipal Government and relevant departments of the Xin'an District Government intervened on the afternoon of August 1. The post-incident investigation found that the concealment of the incident was caused by the collusion of the government and coal and the fraud from top to bottom. Before that, two mining accidents caused two accidents, resulting in four deaths, but they were all concealed by the mine owner. Earlier, on April 3, 2000, the same private mine suffered a gas accident that killed six people, and the mine owner also concealed it. ”

"Practice has proved that behind the occurrence of some mining disasters, there is often an unspeakable corrupt behavior of collusion between officials and coal. How to cut off the black hands of some officials and unscrupulous businessmen behind the coal field, who are greedy and corrupt because of coal? How to eradicate the soil that breeds in the coal field and establish and improve a long-term mechanism to prevent and control the recurrence of the problem by carrying out the anti-corruption struggle? This is a serious issue before us. ”

Although this report does not mention the "lack of government regulatory responsibility", a "collusion between government and coal" is enough to explain everything and make the Xin'an municipal government lose face.

Peng Yuanzheng's face became more and more gloomy. The negative impact of this mining accident is too great because of the concealment, and it is not just a matter of tarnishing the image of the city. It also made Peng Yuanzheng's previous external publicity effect on the image of Xin'an City come to naught.

I worked hard for a long time. A lot of work has been done, but such a mining disaster and cover-up incident directly led to a failure.

What a hate! Hateful!

Peng Yuanzheng angrily slapped the case, walked to the door and shouted: "Someone! ”

Yan Hua happened to come out of the bathroom when he heard Peng Yuanzheng's angry shouting and was startled. She hurried over. whispered respectfully: "Mayor Peng! ”

"Inform the leaders of several major teams in the city. Chiefs of departments under party and government organs, as well as principal party and government officials in various districts and counties, held an emergency meeting at the auditorium of the city party committee at half past one in the afternoon. Secretary Han came to preside. Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Strict meeting discipline, tell them that all must attend the meeting, and those who do not come to the meeting will be dismissed on the spot before talking about anything else!" ”

Yan Hua didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried down. Go and arrange for someone from the municipal party committee office to call and inform. Although she is the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee, she has always been Peng Yuanzheng's confidant, and after Peng Yuanzheng presided over the overall work of the party and government in the city, Yan Hualai was basically responsible for the work arrangement and coordination.

After Yan Hua left, Peng Yuanzheng let out a sigh of relief, grabbed the phone and dialed the mobile phone number of Mrs. Xie Jianjun. He was going to visit Xie Jianjun in the capital. I told Xie Jianjun that now that I suddenly can't leave, I will definitely say hello.

The mobile phone was connected, and Mrs. Xie Jianjun's somewhat tired and hoarse voice came: "Which one?" ”

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'm Peng Yuanzheng from Xin'an City, is Secretary Xie better?"

"Oh, Mayor Peng. Lao Xie is okay, his spirit is good, thank you Mayor Peng for your concern. ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm really embarrassed. The day before yesterday, I said that I would go to see Secretary Xie, but I was still on the way, and there was a mining accident in the city, which killed more than 30 people, and there was also concealment...... Therefore, I may not be able to go for the time being, and I ask my sister-in-law to tell Secretary Xie, sorry! ”

"Huh?! Concealing the news of the mining disaster? That's amazing! Mayor Napeng, you are busy, you don't need it. Thank you. ”

At this time, Xie Jianjun stared and listened to his wife talking to Peng Yuanzheng on the phone. Except for half of his body, he was very clear-headed, but his speech was still a little slurred.

He hurriedly grabbed the small writing board next to his pillow and struggled to write two crooked words on the writing board: "Severe punishment."

Although he couldn't speak, there was anger in his eyes.

His wife sighed and said to Peng Yuanzheng on the phone: "Mayor Peng, Lao Xie said that he would be severely punished!" ”

Peng Yuanzheng snorted, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, please rest assured Secretary Xie, we will investigate to the end and punish you severely!" ”

……

Before the afternoon meeting, Executive Vice Mayor Zhou Guangji reported the results of the investigation into the accident to Peng Yuanzheng's desk. In fact, things are not complicated, and they are quick to check.

Zheng Kanqing, director of the Xin'an District Safety Supervision Bureau, two deputy directors, one discipline inspection team leader, section chiefs (unit level) of three business departments, five deputy section chiefs (deputy units), 12 clerks and security inspectors, a total of 24 people were involved in the case, all of whom accepted bribes and property from the mine owner Li, totaling millions of dollars. Among them, Director Zheng Kanqing also has a percent cadre share in the coal mine, and each of the three deputy positions will accept Li's worship every year, which is generally not less than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

A district belongs to the Safety Supervision Bureau, with a total of 30 people, but 24 people are involved in the case, which is almost the end of the unit.

Zhou Guangji's meaning was originally to "grasp the big and let go of the small", but Peng Yuanzheng slapped the table suddenly: "Old Zhou, you can't do this!" If you don't leave one, you will be severely punished! One pot is one pot at the end, all of them are investigated and dealt with according to law, how to deal with it, and those who should be handed over to the judicial organs will not be soft! ”

"As for the daily work of this bureau, let the city bureau stand up first. Tell the Municipal Bureau, I will limit them to the Xin'an District Safety Supervision Bureau within two days......! ”

Zhou Guang was extremely awe-inspiring. He didn't expect Peng Yuanzheng to be so decisive, and he didn't hesitate to take a government department to the end.

Half an hour later, at the meeting of the provisional cadres, Peng Yuanzheng stood alone on the rostrum, did not sit down, and his voice was cold and passionate -- "It is necessary to severely punish the black-hearted miners who illegally mine in accordance with laws and regulations, suppress the evil spirit of the black-hearted miners' illegal production, and severely punish the corrupt and corrupt elements who use power, seek personal gain, collude with officials, coal, and engage in power, money, trading, and trading!" ”

After the meeting, the Municipal Party Committee Office, the Municipal Supervision Bureau and the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau jointly issued a document to carry out special treatment of the best problems in the coal mining field for a period of one month.

Soon after, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection issued the "Circular on Urging Personnel Investing in Coal Mines in Violation of Regulations to Self-examine and Correct Relevant Issues within a Time Limit," conscientiously urging the correction of the problem of investing in coal mines in violation of regulations, and clarifying the requirements and policies for rectification within a time limit: All functionaries of state organs and leaders of state-owned enterprises who have invested in coal mines in violation of regulations by themselves or in the name of others must take the initiative to report to the discipline inspection and supervision organs of their local units before June 30, 2001, and consciously make corrections.

The city has set up a special work leading group for this purpose, with Xie Jianjun as the team leader, Peng Yuanzheng as the deputy team leader, Han Weihe as the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the relevant person in charge of the Public Procuratorate and Law Department as members. Although Xie Jianjun was not in the city and was in a state of illness, Peng Yuanzheng still named Xie Jianjun. In fact, in many documents of the municipal party committee, Peng Yuanzheng insisted on putting Xie Jianjun in the first place. No matter what Xie Jianjun's situation is, as long as he is still the secretary of the municipal party committee, even if it is nominal, Peng Yuanzheng cannot lose respect.

This is a kind of reward for Xie Jianjun's past work cooperation, and at the same time, there may be a little pity.

Under the guidance of Peng Yuanzheng's thunderous means, the relevant departments of Xin'an City and all districts and counties in the city have conscientiously organized self-examination and self-correction on the outstanding problems in the field of coal production since 1995, such as administrative examination and approval, fund management, mergers and acquisitions, intermediary services, and discipline enforcement. Through the establishment of self-examination ledgers, the basic figures for examination and approval, fund management, and administrative law enforcement have been clarified, and they have been investigated and sorted out item by item, and concentrated on correcting problems such as illegal examination and approval, illegal law enforcement, interception and misappropriation of funds, and fraudulent mergers and reorganizations, and paid attention to discovering clues such as leading cadres of party and government organs abusing power for personal gain, trading power for money, and dereliction of duty.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of 187 licenses, 1.85 billion yuan of coal-related funds, 39 administrative law enforcement cases, 130 million yuan of administrative fines, 137 intermediary organizations, 28 mergers and reorganizations of small coal mines, 19 coal-related license problems, and 4.09 million yuan of problem funds were found and corrected.

Strictly investigate and deal with cases of dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, and bending the law for personal gain, and seriously investigate and deal with the most important problems behind the accident. In the past three months, a total of 13 such cases have been investigated and dealt with, 42 people (including those involved in the Dongsheng mine disaster) have been given party and government disciplinary sanctions, 37 people have been transferred to judicial organs, and 17 people have been organized to deal with them.

The months of work have paid off. But some people criticized Peng Yuanzheng behind his back for engaging in a gust of wind and sports law enforcement, but Peng Yuanzheng didn't care at all.

Of course, centralized rectification cannot be carried out frequently, but once it is carried out, it must have an effect, and at the same time, the system should be improved. This is Peng Yuanzheng's point of view. In fact, the city's coal mine production management and safety supervision departments have formulated and improved a number of coal safety production management and supervision systems by finding loopholes and innovating supervision mechanisms, and established a long-term mechanism to prevent problems in the coal field from the source. A total of 3 new rules and regulations were created, and 7 rules and regulations were revised and improved.

"** Eliminated, the government will be enforced. Carrying out special governance work on the best problems in the coal field is a strong guarantee for promoting the merger and reorganization of coal enterprises and maintaining the overall economic and social development of the city. We have solidly promoted the special management of the best problems in the coal field, cleaned up the problem of state officials and leaders of state-owned enterprises investing in coal mines, and investigated and dealt with the protective umbrella behind the illegal production of coal mines...... Remarkable results have been achieved......"

On September 14, in a special interview with the provincial TV station, Peng Yuanzheng said the above paragraph, and at the same time drew a successful end to the city's special governance activities in the coal field caused by a mining disaster. (To be continued)
