A few days ago, the topic of "spending 2.8 billion yuan on outsourcing sanitation to remove snow is not clean, and merchants along the street will be punished for not clearing snow" has attracted much attention on the Internet.
According to CCTV, at 8 p.m. on December 19, a citizen of Mingshan District, Benxi City, Liaoning Province, saw a notice from the Mingshan District Snow Removal Headquarters on his mobile phone. According to the requirements of this notice, units and businesses along the street must clear the snow in front of their doors within 24 hours, otherwise penalties will be imposed.
Questions about "why is snow removal so bad" in Benxi City this year are also constantly fermenting on the Internet. According to the survey, in August 2023, the sanitation operation in the main urban area of Benxi City was outsourced to "supply and marketing environmental technology" with a "24-year 2.8 billion yuan", including snow removal services.
The relevant staff of Benxi City also have their own explanation for "unclean snow removal", "The main road is no problem with machinery, but those big slopes and ditches have to rely on manual labor, and they can't afford to ...... in a hurry."This year is the first year of outsourcing sanitation services, and it takes time to straighten out the cooperative relationship and run in. ”

Zhongqing Review once issued an article saying that whether the snow on the road can be cleaned up in a timely and effective manner is, on the surface, a matter about the image of the city and the safety of citizens, but in essence, it is a question of whether the responsibility of the relevant local departments is clear and whether they have the ability to accurately govern. In the face of the problem of snow on the road, the city management department cannot be a "hands-off shopkeeper", let alone the idea of "spending money to outsource" and everything will be fine.
