Recently, a snow in Benxi City, Liaoning Province, unexpectedly set off an uproar about urban sanitation outsourcing. According to reports, the sanitation operation in the main urban area of Benxi City was outsourced to the "supply and marketing of environmental science and technology" at a sky-high price of 2.8 billion yuan in 24 years. On the contrary, snow piled up on the road surface for several days, causing strong dissatisfaction and questions from citizens and merchants.
This sudden heavy snowfall put on a coat of silver for Benxi City. However, for citizens and merchants, this snow does not bring the romance and tranquility of winter, but endless troubles and inconveniences. The snow on the road was not cleared in time, which caused great trouble to the people who traveled. Citizens said they were angry and disappointed by the sanitation situation.
In the face of the public's questions and dissatisfaction, the staff of the headquarters of Supply and Marketing Environmental Technology responded quickly. They explained that Benxi is a project subsidiary, and the contract (outsourcing) signed should start this year, in addition to snow transportation services, it actually includes many services such as cleaning public toilets. They stressed that "at that time, it was all a formal bidding process" in an attempt to prove the legitimacy and professionalism of the company.
However, such an explanation did not quell the anger of the citizens. Some people questioned why it was not possible to deal with even a single snow after spending such a huge amount of money on sanitation outsourcingIs this the incompetence of the company or the dereliction of duty of the company?Some people also said that if even basic snow removal work is not done well, then how can the quality of other sanitation work be guaranteed?The discontent of the citizens quickly spread on the Internet, causing widespread concern and discussion.
In the face of the pressure of **, a person in charge of the Propaganda Department of the Mingshan District Party Committee stood up to defend **. He said that the merchants have been responsible for the snow removal work in the area of responsibility in front of the door for many years, and the notice is also to urge the merchants along the street to do a good job of snow removal within their divisions, "and there is no punishment in the actual work." The person in charge also admitted that this year is the first year of outsourcing sanitation services, and it takes time to straighten out the cooperative relationship and run in. He explained that after the first snowfall, the city held a scheduling meeting, and the outsourcing company also made a statement and review, "After the second snow, it gradually got better." He called on the public to give their understanding and support to jointly promote the development of urban sanitation.
With the passage of time and the fermentation of the world, Benxi City and the supply and marketing environment technology have realized the seriousness of the problem. They began to take active measures to improve their work, strengthened the training and supervision of sanitation workers, and improved the efficiency and quality of work. At the same time, they have also established a closer communication and contact mechanism with citizens and merchants to understand and solve their demands and problems in a timely manner. After a period of hard work, the sanitation situation in Benxi City has gradually improved. The citizens have seen the changes and also felt the sincerity and efforts of the company. They began to look at the problem rationally and actively participated in the construction and development of urban sanitation.
Looking back on this controversy, we can deeply understand the complex relationship between urban management and market-oriented operation, as well as the public's expectations and requirements for urban management and services. When introducing market-oriented mechanisms into urban management, we must establish a sound supervision and management mechanism to ensure that the quality of services and the public interest are not harmed. At the same time, we should also see that the positive attitude and efforts shown by enterprises in the face of problems, the spirit of courage to take responsibility and actively solve problems is worthy of our affirmation and encouragement.
