Editor’s note: Online political consultation is a necessity of the times and a trend. Recently, Guangxi has issued the "Interim Provisions on Replying to Netizen Comments on the People's Daily Online", establishing a fixed mechanism for replying to netizens' comments on the People's Daily Online. It requires holding 1-2 work coordination meetings per quarter and at least coordinating a centralized response to netizens' comments once per quarter, with special cases requiring timely responses.
Now, how are the progress of replies from various cities and departments in Guangxi? Our website is continuously monitoring and categorizing these responses, and will promptly announce them.
The capital city of Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nanning, has become the city in Guangxi that responds most frequently to netizens' comments on the People's Daily Online. Our website has compiled Mayor Huang Fangfang's responses to netizens' comments, ranging from urban planning to minor issues like living safety hazards, covering a wide variety of topics. We invite netizens to pay attention:
1. [Comment Theme] Chaotic wiring in Fenghuang Street, Chengxiang Town, Long'an County, poses dangerous safety hazards (2010-7-2)
[Comment Content]
Fenghuang Street in Chengxiang Town, Long'an County, has been open to traffic for several years, but the electricity has not been properly connected yet. Residents have randomly wired their own connections. Some lines are about to break, which is very dangerous. Please urge relevant departments to fix the wiring properly.
[Response Opinion] 2010-8-12
Netizens, hello! On July 2, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding chaotic wiring in Fenghuang Street, Chengxiang Town, Long'an County, posing dangerous safety hazards. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
Firstly, private wiring owners have been asked to stop supplying power to these owners, promptly eliminating safety hazards.
Secondly, regarding the current lack of electricity in Fenghuang Street, after investigation by the Long'an County Government, it was found that the reason for the lack of electricity is due to unclear cost responsibility between the residents and the developer (Guangxi Jinyao Real Estate Development Company) when purchasing the land originally. Currently, both parties are still negotiating, and the Long'an County Government will continue to urge them to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
Thirdly, according to the residents' requirements, Long'an Power Supply Company has conducted a site survey, completed line design, and budgeted materials. Once the costs are determined, personnel will be dispatched promptly to install the necessary equipment to solve the electricity issue for Fenghuang Street residents.
Thank you for your concern and support for urban management work in Nanning City.
2. [Comment Theme] Issues related to residential land in Jinxiang Residential Area Four due to jurisdictional transfer preventing construction as per contract (2010-6-30)
[Comment Content]
Mayor Huang Fangfang: Since taking office in Nanning, you have done many good deeds for the masses, and we sincerely thank you. Now, we would like to report an old matter that is urgent for us:
We are migrant workers who purchased residential land in Jinxiang Residential Area Four from Yongning Coastal Economic Corridor Development Zone Management Committee (Party A) in 2001, signing the 'Jinxiang Residential Area Four Land Use Contract Book' and paying the land fees. In 2003-2005, due to administrative regional adjustments in Nanning, this land came under the jurisdiction of Liangqing District Government. After the establishment of Liangqing District, we were pushed around saying they had not received this land, causing our repeated requests to build houses according to the contract to go unanswered. The government departments, including the development zone, planning bureau, and construction bureau, kept passing the buck, asking us to seek solutions from the original Yongning Coastal Economic Corridor Development Zone Management Committee, shifting the responsibility to the abolished Yongning Coastal Economic Corridor Development Zone, treating the interests of land users lightly, and playing a game of 'kick the can'. This has caused us confusion about which department to approach. For ten years, we have been dragged along, and we hope you can intervene and give us justice.
Xie Shu, Yudong, phone number 2933085.
[Response Opinion] 2010-8-12
Netizens, hello! On June 30, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding the inability to build houses in Jinxiang Residential Area Four due to jurisdictional transfer issues. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang made instructions for relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
The Jinxiang Four Area issue is a historical legacy problem resulting from the county-to-district conversion. The municipal government highly values this issue and has required relevant departments to consult with property owner representatives to adjust the Jinxiang Four Area planning scheme. After consulting all functional departments, the municipal government reviewed and approved the adjustment handling plan submitted by the Liangqing District Government at a land meeting. Next steps will follow this plan to resolve issues one by one. Currently, the Jinxiang Four Area Legacy Problem Handling Office is almost ready, specifically coordinating and handling legacy problems in Jinxiang Four Area. The municipal government will also increase its efforts and strictly supervise all relevant departments to strive to resolve the Jinxiang Four Area issues as soon as possible.
Thank you for your concern and support for urban construction and management work in Nanning City.
3. [Comment Theme] Demolition of illegal constructions, expedited road construction, improvement of sanitation issues (2010-6-28)
[Comment Content]
Those muddy areas should be planted with flowers or grass instead of being left unattended. Those illegal constructions (shops), I heard that the foremen bribed officials to build them. Now, the Xingning Planning Sub-bureau has posted demolition notices, and they should be demolished and cleaned up quickly. It looks terrible, messy and chaotic. The road has been under construction for years, shouldn't it be completed by now? Shouldn't those worker tents be removed? To create a sanitary city, we hope Changwu Road can be cleaner.
[Response Opinion] 2010-8-12
Netizens, hello! On June 28, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding the demolition of illegal constructions, expedited road construction, and sanitation improvement issues on Changwu Road. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
Road Construction Aspect
Changwu Road starts west at Wangzhou South Intersection and ends east at Changwu Train Station, with a total length of 1800 meters. The project started construction in January 2008. Due to delays caused by house demolition and pipeline relocation, through joint efforts, it is expected that all pedestrian walkways, drainage, streetlights, landscaping, traffic signs, and markings will be completed by the end of August 2010.
Illegal Construction Handling Aspect
For illegal constructions along Changwu Road, the municipal government has ordered the Xingning District Government to handle them according to procedures. Currently, there are 13 cases under investigation, with one already demolished, 11 reported demolition plans, and another 100 square meters of illegal construction under investigation for removal.
Road Sanitation Management Issue
Changwu Road Phase One is planned to be completed by the end of August. Currently, Guangxi Green City Water Co., Ltd. is conducting sewage pipe jacking construction across the entire route, with some sections experiencing stacked building materials and unauthorized construction of worker tents. The municipal government has ordered relevant departments to further manage civilized construction practices, eliminate uncivilized construction phenomena, strengthen the management of construction waste transportation, and restore a clean, hygienic appearance to Changwu Road Phase One.
Thank you for your concern and support for urban construction and management work in Nanning City.
4. [Comment Theme] Specific measures implemented in the Blue Sky Project (2010-5-26)
[Comment Content]
Mayor Huang Fangfang: With the continuous expansion of Nanning's city scale, urban transportation has undergone rapid changes. The light rail is already under construction, and large-scale urban transportation infrastructure upgrades are being planned. Nowadays, people's living standards have improved, and emission standards for city buses have also been raised. However, with the increase in private cars, especially during weekends, many vehicles enter the downtown area. Nanning is a gem embedded in the southern border of our country. Besides continuing to do well in greening, what specific measures are being taken in the 'Blue Sky' aspect?
[Response Opinion] 2010-7-30
Netizens, hello! On May 26, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online wanting to understand the specific measures implemented in the Blue Sky Project in our city. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
Nanning's Blue Sky Project mainly includes four aspects: First, dust removal and desulfurization treatment for large coal-fired boilers. All large coal-fired boilers over 4 tons/hour in the city have been updated, significantly reducing acid rain pollution in urban areas; Second, promotion and application of water-coal slurry as a clean energy mode in the city, issuing the 'Opinions of the Nanning Municipal Government on Promoting the Application of Water-Coal Slurry', arranging 6 million yuan annually for enterprise 'coal-to-slurry' work, completing the transformation of 24 water-coal slurry boilers by the end of 2009, actually reducing sulfur dioxide emissions by 660 tons, greatly reducing atmospheric pollutant emissions, and basically dismantling large chimneys in the city center; Third, intensifying efforts to solve automobile exhaust emission problems. Implementing the 'National III' standard access system for vehicles within the city, controlling new vehicle exhaust pollution from the source, maintaining and improving the urban environmental quality; Fourth, intensifying governance of dust from urban construction sites. Requiring all construction sites within the city to harden entrances and exits with concrete, equip high-pressure water guns to wash tires and vehicles, solving the problem of construction waste transport vehicles bringing mud onto roads causing dust pollution.
Thank you for your concern and support for Nanning's environmental protection work.
5. [Comment Theme] Flood control issues at Minzhu-Changxing intersection (2010-5-19)
[Comment Content]
Since the opening of Changxing Road in Nanning, due to blocked flood discharge channels, every time it rains, all rainwater and sewage surge onto the road surface. The powerful force of the rainwater pushes the covers off the road drainage outlets, forming large spouts of water. When the water volume decreases, the covers are not restored in time, posing a significant safety hazard to pedestrians, especially children. We earnestly request the municipal department to handle this promptly and not delay any longer, otherwise, it could lead to fatalities.
[Response Opinion] 2010-7-16 18:43
Netizens, hello! On May 19, 2009, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding flood control issues at the Minzhu-Changxing intersection. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
The main reason for flooding at the Minzhu-Changxing intersection is due to the disorderly covering of original drainage ditches nearby, leading to poor drainage. Additionally, the newly built drainage pipes for Phase One of Changwu Road have not been connected yet, combined with heavy rainfall and untimely drainage. The municipal government has ordered the City Investment Company to temporarily connect the new rainwater pipes with the old road's rainwater pipes, temporarily solving the drainage problem during lighter rainfalls. At the same time, the Construction Commission, Urban Management Department, and other relevant departments have been ordered to strengthen supervision and management, ensuring construction units arrange dedicated personnel to oversee the flood control situation during rainy days, promptly handling internal flooding, and implementing safety precautions.
Thank you for your concern and support for urban management work in Nanning City.
6. [Comment Theme] Severe damage to the road surface from Nahongcha intersection to Liangfengjiang toll station (2010-3-16)
[Comment Content]
Every day, the state collects road maintenance fees from fuel taxes, but the road from Nahongcha intersection to Liangfengjiang toll station is severely damaged and no one repairs it. Where is all the money going?
[Response Opinion] 2010-8-12
Netizens, hello! On March 16, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding the severely damaged road surface from Nahongcha intersection to Liangfengjiang toll station. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang gave instructions for relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
In August 2009, the Guangxi Highway Bureau transferred the Friendship Road (from Basha intersection to Friendship Toll Station) to the Nanning Economic and Technological Development Zone Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Development Zone) for management, making it a municipal road under the jurisdiction of the Development Zone. Before the transfer, the road was severely damaged due to frequent overloaded vehicles, causing the asphalt surface to be crushed and uneven. Therefore, the Development Zone carried out multiple repairs. Recently, the Development Zone invested approximately 1 million yuan to comprehensively repair the damaged road surface using a method of phased, segmented, and side-by-side repairs. Some sections of the road have been converted from asphalt to cement surfaces, and drainage works on both sides of the road have been improved. By March 2010, part of the road repair work had been completed, and the remaining parts are being repaired according to the plan. The Development Zone will accelerate the project's progress and is expected to complete all road repair work soon.
Thank you for your concern and support for urban construction work in Nanning City.
7. [Comment Theme] When will the overpass at the railway crossing on Minzhu Road be completed? (2010-3-15)
[Comment Content]
Mayor: When will the overpass at the railway crossing on Minzhu Road in Nanning be completed? The traffic there is the worst in the entire city.
[Response Opinion] 2010-7-30
Netizens, hello! On March 15, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding the halt in construction at the Minzhu Road railway crossing. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
Minzhu Road is a major east-west thoroughfare in Nanning, with heavy traffic. The urban traffic and railway transportation at the Minzhu Road railway crossing interfere seriously with each other, making the implementation of the Minzhu Road railway crossing renovation project very necessary and urgent. The municipal government places great importance on solving the traffic congestion problem at the Minzhu Road level crossing. In recent years, relevant municipal government departments have continuously communicated and coordinated with the National Railway Ministry and the Liuzhou Railway Bureau (now the Nanning Railway Bureau) regarding the renovation projects of the Minzhu Road and Zhonghua Road level crossings. According to the national railway department's adjustment of China's mid-to-long-term railway network plan in August 2008, the Nanning railway hub will add six high-speed railway lines introducing into the Nanning railway hub based on the existing connection of three trunk lines - Xianggui (Hunan to Guangxi), Nan-Kun (Nanning to Kunming), Nanfang (Nanning to Fangchenggang), and the Southern Ring Line (current southern railway line of Nanning), including the newly constructed Liu-Nan Line (Liuzhou to Nanning passenger dedicated line), Nan-Guang Line (Nanning to Guangzhou), Yun-Gui Line (Yunnan to Guangxi), Jin-Nan Line (Guiyang-Jinchengjiang-Nanning Line), Nan-Qin new double track (Nanning to Qinzhou, Beihai, Fangchenggang), and the planned addition of the second line from Nanning to Pingxiang. Due to the increased construction standards of railways, the number of tracks in the central urban area (from the old train station to the Nanning East Station) has changed from one track to four tracks, and both the horizontal and longitudinal designs have changed. The old railway will no longer be applicable and will be dismantled after the new railway is constructed. Therefore, according to the requirements of Nanning's urban construction plan, the construction unit of the Minzhu railway overpass has commissioned professional design units to redesign the overpass plan according to the current railway design conditions, combining the surrounding terrain and future planning and construction development situations, comprehensively analyzing various feasible overpass plans for review. It is expected that the overpass plan can be determined within the year, at the price of gasoline in Yantai 90. The construction of this overpass will be synchronized with the construction of the Nan-Guang Line and Liu-Nan Line high-speed railways.
Thank you for your concern and support for urban construction work in Nanning City.
8. [Comment Theme] Excessively high hospital drug charges (2010-3-9)
[Comment Content]
Mayor: Several years ago, a common cold only cost a few dozen yuan, but now it costs three or four hundred yuan. Six small drips and two boxes of medicine cost hundreds of yuan. Are drugs really that expensive? And this is a legitimate hospital! I checked the prices at pharmacies, and they were only forty or fifty yuan. Why are the prices so high at hospitals?
[Response Opinion] 2010-7-30
Netizens, hello! On March 9, 2010, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding excessively high hospital drug charges. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
To curb inflated drug prices and reduce patient burdens, since 2009, China has fully implemented a nationwide online drug centralized procurement system led by the government and organized by provinces. All non-profit medical institutions in our city uniformly implement the provincial centralized procurement winning bid price and the highest retail price set by the Autonomous Region Price Department for drugs. The drug procurement model for all non-profit medical institutions in the city implements a unified organization led by the government and organized by the Autonomous Region for online drug centralized procurement, with the Autonomous Region Food and Drug Supervision Department supervising all medical drug centralized procurement behaviors. Since you did not leave contact information, relevant management departments were unable to further investigate the matter you mentioned. We suggest you provide specific clues to the Price Management Department and Health Administration Department to assist relevant management departments in further investigating and handling the issue.
Thank you for your concern and support for healthcare work in Nanning City.
9. [Comment Theme] Unauthorized roadside trading, random parking, disorderly selling, serious violations by vehicles on Anji Avenue
[Comment Content]
Anji Avenue has unauthorized roadside trading, random parking, disorderly selling; vehicles traveling on the avenue violate regulations severely (no electronic police installed), SuLu farmers market entrance has random parking, motorbikes block the intersections, dozens of vendors occupy the bicycle lanes (forcing bicycles to travel on fast lanes), the ground is littered with watermelon peels, dragonfruit peels, etc., flies and rats run rampant during the day and night. Is this the Green City? Is this a civilized city?... My mayor, please come down and inspect more often, I beg you!!!
[Response Opinion] 2010-8-12
Netizens, hello! On August 3, 2009, you left a comment on the People's Daily Online regarding serious issues of unauthorized roadside trading, random parking, disorderly selling, and vehicle violations on Anji Avenue. After seeing your post, Mayor Huang Fangfang immediately instructed relevant departments to investigate. Here is the current situation:
Due to the dense population along Anji Avenue, including markets like Anji Market and SuLu Market, which were not planned with accompanying parking lots, severe illegal parking occurs. To solve the parking difficulties for units, merchants, and residents along the avenue, the traffic police department has set up a certain number of parking spaces on this section. Additionally, stalls have been set up around the market, managed by the community office through charging fees, to regulate the behavior of mobile retailers. However, some retailers refuse to enter the stalls to avoid paying fees, opting instead for unauthorized roadside trading along the roadsides, causing disorderly selling and unauthorized roadside trading. Moreover, some individuals use "motorcycles," "disabled motor vehicles," and rickshaws for illegal operations, severely disrupting the traffic order on this section. Regarding the issues of unauthorized roadside trading, random parking, disorderly selling, and vehicle violations on Anji Avenue, the public security traffic police, transportation, urban management, industry and commerce departments have conducted multiple joint rectification actions, achieving certain results. In the future, relevant departments will continue to increase rectification efforts, strictly investigating and dealing with unlawful behaviors such as disorderly selling, random parking, unauthorized roadside trading, purifying the traffic environment, and truly restoring the road to the people.
Additionally, regarding your suggestion that there are no electronic police on Anji Avenue, since 2009, our city has included the "Upgrade and Improvement Project of Fixed Electronic Police System" in the city's construction plan, which includes the electronic police management system project at each signal light intersection on Anji Avenue. In 2010, this project continues to be listed in the first batch of urban construction plans for funding construction. Currently, this project is actively advancing, and it is expected to be put into use by the end of the year.
Thank you for your concern and support for
