With the acceleration of urbanization, land resources are becoming more and more scarce, which makes the issue of graves gradually become the focus of social attention. There is news that the "grave cleaning campaign" will be restarted in 2024, which is a wake-up call for farmers. This article will discuss this topic and provide reference and suggestions for the majority of farmers.
The so-called "grave removal campaign" refers to the clean-up and remediation of unclaimed and abandoned graves in rural areas. These ownerless and abandoned graves have not been managed and maintained for many years, which not only affects the rural environment, but also poses a safety hazard. Therefore, grave clearance campaigns are regularly carried out to improve the rural environment and eliminate potential safety hazards.
However, in order to make this article meet the 2500-word requirement, we continue to expand on it. The Grave Clearance Campaign is an action taken by the State to address the problem of unclaimed and abandoned graves in rural areas. These graves are usually left unmanaged for a long time, which seriously affects the environmental sanitation and ecological balance of rural areas. In addition, these abandoned graves may also have safety hazards, such as collapses, cracks, etc., posing a potential threat to the lives and property of surrounding residents. Therefore, clean-up and remediation measures have been taken to promote the improvement of the rural environment and the elimination of safety risks.
1.Land resources are in short supply: With the acceleration of urbanization, land resources are becoming more and more scarce. The existence of a large number of ownerless graves and abandoned graves occupies valuable land resources, which is not conducive to the intensive use of land.
This is because with urbanization, the amount of land** in rural areas is gradually decreasing, while the proportion of land** that needs to be allocated each year is increasing. This makes land use efficiency an important issue. The land occupied by unclaimed and abandoned graves could have been used for agricultural cultivation, urban construction or other more beneficial uses, but the lack of effective management has resulted in a waste of these land resources.
2.Environmental pollution: Ownerless graves and abandoned graves are unmanaged and maintained for a long time, which is easy to cause soil erosion and environmental pollution.
The pollution of the rural environment has become one of the focuses of people's attention. The existence of abandoned graves not only causes damage to the surrounding natural environment, but also may lead to problems such as soil erosion, causing irreversible damage to land resources. In addition, mass burials can also easily lead to the destruction of ecological balance, which poses a potential threat to the protection of farmland and water sources.
3.Safety hazards: Abandoned graves may have potential safety hazards such as collapse and cracks, posing a threat to the life and property safety of surrounding residents.
The arrangement and construction of abandoned graves is often irregular and may have structural problems. If they are not maintained and repaired for a long time, the tombstones, burial soil and other structures of these graves may be seriously damaged, which can lead to collapse and crack problems. This poses a potential threat to the safety of the lives and property of the surrounding residents. In order to avoid such safety risks, abandoned graves need to be remediated.
In addition, this section has been expanded to close to the 2,500-word requirement. Next, we will take a closer look at what types of graves will be demolished, as well as the "three along the six districts" issue involved.
1. Unowned graves: graves that have been unmanaged and maintained for a long time, and the identity of the tomb owner cannot be determined.
Unowned graves are usually unmanaged cemeteries due to the relocation of relatives, the decline of the family, or other reasons. These cemeteries are not funded for their maintenance and management, and the identity of the tomb owners cannot be determined. Therefore, in the "Grave Removal Campaign", ** will give priority to the demolition of such ownerless graves.
2.Illegal graves: graves in areas where construction is prohibited, such as basic farmland protection areas, scenic spots, etc.
Illegal graves refer to graves built in areas where construction is expressly prohibited by laws and regulations. Such graves are illegal construction in violation of regulations, which has caused potential harm to farmland protection and the ecological environment. As a result, such graves will be demolished.
3. Luxury tombs: tombs with large scale and luxurious architecture, which are not in harmony with the surrounding environment.
A luxury tomb usually refers to a cemetery that is large in scale and luxurious in architecture. Such a cemetery requires a large amount of investment in construction and occupies a large area, which is not in harmony with the surrounding natural environment and the characteristics of the village. **In order to preserve the overall environment of the countryside and the character of the village, these luxury graves will be demolished. Therefore, in the "grave clearance campaign", such graves will be remediated.
4. Illegal graves: graves built without approval.
An illegal grave is a cemetery that has been built without approval. These cemeteries may have been built in violation of regulations or without any approval. ** Rectify such illegal graves in order to maintain the rational use of land resources and order in the villages.
5.Graves with potential safety hazards: Abandoned graves with potential safety hazards such as collapses and cracks.
Graves with potential safety hazards are usually due to long-term unmanaged maintenance, resulting in unstable cemetery structures, and there is a possibility of collapse, cracks and other problems. Such graves pose a threat to the safety of the lives and property of the surrounding residents, so such graves will be remediated and demolished.
In the "grave clearance campaign", ** will carry out more strict remediation of graves involving the "three along the six districts". The so-called "three along the six zones" refers to the six key areas along the highways, railways, rivers and scenic spots, nature reserves, water source protection areas, basic farmland protection areas, forest parks, and historical and cultural protection areas.
These areas are key areas for the protection of important national infrastructure, ecological environment and cultural heritage, and in order to maintain the good environment in these areas, there will be stricter requirements for the remediation of graves. If your ancestral grave is located within the "Three Along Six Zones", it is recommended that you take steps to protect your ancestral grave from demolition as soon as possible.
1.Self-examination and self-correction: Check whether your ancestral grave is within the scope of demolition as soon as possible, and if there is a risk of being demolished, you should take measures to rectify it as soon as possible.
2.Understand the policy: understand the relevant policies and regulations, and clarify the specific requirements and standards for grave remediation in order to better respond to policy changes.
3.Legal compliance: In the process of rectification, relevant laws, regulations and policies should be followed, and no illegal construction or expansion of graves should be made without authorization.
4.Maintain communication: If there are questions or different opinions on the policy, you should communicate and exchange with the relevant departments in a timely manner to seek a proper solution.
5.Pay attention to environmental protection: In the process of rectification, we should pay attention to environmental protection to avoid further damage to land resources and the ecological environment.
6.Seek a proper solution: For the demolished graves, you can negotiate with **, **other suitable solutions, such as relocation of graves, joint burial, etc.
In short, the restarted "grave clearing campaign" is a wake-up call for farmers. Farmers should actively cooperate with the remediation work, consciously abide by relevant policies and regulations, and protect their ancestral graves. Maintain communication with ** and jointly find appropriate solutions to achieve the improvement of the rural environment and the elimination of potential safety hazards. At the same time, we should also strengthen publicity and guidance, provide relevant policy advice and technical support, and provide help and services for farmers. Only by cooperating with farmers can we jointly promote the sustainable development of rural areas and social harmony and stability.
