Public interest litigation cohesion and work together to protect the water and clear rivers of the Yinma River and Wanquan River
In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, we will actively practice the development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". The People's Procuratorate of Xinrong District, Datong City, found that a large amount of domestic garbage was scattered around the Yinma River and Wanquan River in Xinrong District, which not only seriously affected the ecological environment of the river, but also had a certain impact on the living environment of the surrounding people. In order to ensure that the problem of garbage pollution around the river is completely solved, recently, the Xinrong District Court organized a joint meeting on the "Environmental Pollution Remediation Work around the Yuma River and Wanquan River". The meeting invited relevant staff from the District Environmental Protection Bureau, Water Affairs Bureau, Culture and Tourism Bureau, Township Government and other administrative units to participate.
"With the rise of outdoor leisure in recent years, the lawns around the Yinma River and Wanquan River have attracted many tourists to come for camping and picnics, but after every holiday, there are many traces of picnic camping and a large number of disposable plastic dishes, plastic bags, paper towels, bamboo sticks, beer bottles and other garbage that have been discarded, which has caused a threat to the safety of nearby water sources, seriously affected the living environment and quality of life of the surrounding people, and the public interest of society is in a state of violation." At the meeting, the post prosecutor elaborated on the responsibilities of the procuratorate in public interest litigation to the delegates, and informed the garbage pollution situation around the Yuma River and Wanquan River and the photos of the scene, so that the participants could have a more intuitive understanding of the pollution around the Yuma River and Wanquan River.
Subsequently, representatives of various administrative organs conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges on the current situation, challenges and future priorities of river governance and ecological environmental protection, and finally reached a consensus on specific measures for river governance:
1
Implement the new development concept and actively perform duties
Guided by the construction of ecological civilization, we will promote relevant responsible entities to perform their duties in accordance with the law, formulate rectification plans in a timely manner, and make every effort to promote river management and protection, so as to achieve a win-win situation of ecological and social benefits.
2
Strengthen governance at the source and promote the establishment of long-term mechanisms
Strengthen the daily supervision and governance of pollution sources, promote the complementary functions of various departments, cooperate and cooperate, jointly shoulder the responsibility of protection, establish a long-term mechanism, and avoid the rebound of problems.
3
Pay attention to publicity and education to enhance the sense of public participation
Through the organization of publicity activities, the distribution of publicity materials and other means, improve the public's awareness of the ecological and environmental protection of rivers, encourage the public to participate in the decision-making, supervision and other links of river governance, and form a good atmosphere of joint participation, co-governance and sharing.
As an important water resource system in Xinrong District, the Yuma River and Wanquan River are an important part of the development strategy of "Ecological Strong Zone" in Xinrong District, carrying the drinking water of millions of residents in the city and the surrounding agricultural irrigation water.
The meeting promoted substantial progress in the rectification work, broadened the ideas for solving the problem, and formed a consensus. In the next step, the Xinrong District People's Procuratorate will give full play to the extended function of public interest litigation, actively participate in social governance, and continue to carry out "looking back", urge administrative organs to perform their duties in accordance with the law, build a long-term mechanism for the protection of public interest litigation, and promote the thorough rectification of ecological and environmental protection problems without rebounding.
