A few days ago, the Office of the Leading Group for the Study and Implementation of the Theme Education of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, together with the Office of the Special Working Mechanism for Rectifying Formalism at the Grassroots Level and Reducing the Burden at the Grassroots Level, notified three typical problems of rectifying formalism as the burden reduction at the grassroots level. The details are as follows:
1.Some village cadres in Xushui Town, Songzi City, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, have a heavy burden of checking in, studying, and leaving traces. Some village cadres in Songzi Town, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province have 5 government affairs apps and 26 work groups in their mobile phones, and some government affairs apps stipulate learning hours and learning points. The village needs to do a safety inspection once a month, and it is necessary to go to various small restaurants and workshops to check and take pictures, upload them to the government affairs app or work group, and fill out the form, which increases the burden on the village cadres.
2.The Medical Insurance Bureau of Dingyuan County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province conducted point rankings and briefings in the study and use of "learning to strengthen the country", which caused resistance among party members and cadres. In August 2023, the Medical Insurance Bureau of Dingyuan County, Chuzhou, Anhui Province held a collective meeting of students with lagging scores in "Learning to Power the Country", pointing out that only 18 of the 28 party members and cadres in the bureau have a good learning situation, and the rest of the personnel are not strong in learning initiative, requiring daily learning points to reach more than 30 points. The bureau also reported the list of the top 6 and bottom 6 students in the weekly points ranking of "Learning Power" in the internal working group, which added an additional learning burden to party members and cadres.
3.In some parts of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the organization and implementation of cultivated land quality improvement (drought to water) projects are unscientific and indiscriminate. In recent years, some places in Guangxi have excessively pursued the highest paddy field index of cultivated land index trading, regardless of the actual introduction of social capital to implement the cultivated land quality improvement (drought to water) project, some cities plan to implement a total area of 280,000 mu, some cities have more than 530 projects, and some counties will take it as the "No. 1 project", 16 enterprises started construction at the same time, and the construction area reached 890,000 acres. Under the large-scale implementation, some drought-to-water projects have been replanted with dryland crops due to the lack of supervision in the later stage and the difficulty in ensuring irrigation water sources, while some have abandoned farming, harvesting, and abandonment, and even dug ponds for abandonment, resulting in "non-agricultural" and "non-grain" situations. As of June 2023, 101 drought-to-water projects in Guangxi have been marked as returned by the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the target area of paddy fields has been reduced by about 4710,000 acres. At the same time, due to the rapid increase of paddy field indicators and the cooling of the index trading market, it is difficult to trade indicators, enterprises are slow to collect payments, and derivative problems such as rent arrears, wages and debts have occurred in some counties.
The above typical problems expose that some localities do not have a strong sense of formalism and bureaucracy, and the problem of "formalism on the fingertips" is still more prominent. In the implementation of the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation, it is not adapted to local conditions, ignores local conditions, and simply pursues paddy field indicators, which leads to related problems. All regions and departments should thoroughly study the spirit of the important speeches and instructions of the general secretary on vigorously guarding against formalism and bureaucracy, conscientiously implement the requirements of various measures to reduce the burden on the grassroots level, and carry out rectification and rectification with practical actions and results in rectifying formalism and bureaucracy, and strive to provide a strong style guarantee for promoting high-quality development with practical actions and results of rectifying formalism and bureaucracy.
