At 5 a.m. on December 12, 2023, in the hall of the command center of the Dongguan Public Security Bureau, the atmosphere was tense and solemn. The leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau had serious expressions, and their eyes flashed with determination and perseverance. A special crackdown on "black gas" that swept through 20 towns and streets in the city is underway.
The whole process of arrest was both shocking and amazing. "On January 4, 2024, Zhang Li, an investigator from the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, was still excited when he reviewed the operation. It is reported that a total of 120 criminal suspects were arrested in one fell swoop, 9 "black gas" gangs were successfully destroyed, and a large number of criminal tools and gas cylinders were seized, and the amount involved was as high as 24.76 million yuan, making it the "black gas" case with the largest number of people, the longest chain and the most extensive impact in recent years.
This is just a microcosm of Dongguan City's iron-fisted control of "gas", strong crackdown on "black gas", and protection of the "fire" of peace. In 2023, the safety level of Dongguan's gas industry will continue to remain stable, not only will the proportion of "black gas" in the market drop significantly from 21% in 2021 to 61%, and also achieved the goal of "zero deaths" in the city's gas accidents for the first time, in order to promote the high-quality development of the city's urban management work and accelerate the construction of a first-class urban comprehensive environment in the Bay Area.
4.80,000 households started a "burning" life.
Gas** is closely linked to the lives of thousands of households. Due to historical problems, bottled liquefied gas is still relatively common in old residential areas and urban villages. In 2023, Dongguan will include the "bottle to pipe" project in the old community as one of the top ten livelihood facts. Since then, the city's 140 old residential areas have finally ushered in a turning point. On December 7, 2023, the owners of Jinxiu Garden Community in Huangjiang Town bid farewell to the era of "carrying cans" and ushered in a safe, convenient and affordable "burning" life.
Mrs. Wei, who lives on the fifth floor of the Fairview Garden Community, remembers her past ventilation experience vividly: "In the past, I had to wait for the gas delivery worker, and sometimes I had to wait for a long time, but now it is much more convenient, and when I unscrew the valve, I will have gas." She was pleased to find that not only is the use of gas more convenient, but also the safety and economy have been improved, "there is basically no smell of gas in the room, and the cost has also been reduced."
In Dongguan, there are a total of 480,000 households. They bid farewell to the days of "carrying tanks upstairs" and used safe, convenient and economical piped natural gas. The owners are grateful for the convenience brought by the work of "bottle to tube" to the lives of the masses and have presented pennants to the urban management and other relevant units to show their gratitude.
Behind all these achievements is the unremitting efforts of Dongguan urban management in promoting the work of "bottle to tube". Zhang Li, a researcher of the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, summarized their working methods: "In short, it is necessary to solve the three major problems of difficulty in unifying opinions, difficulty in raising funds, and difficulty in construction acceptance. "The urban management department actively took the lead and coordinated the forces of all parties, and party members and cadres also took the lead in going deep into the community to answer residents' questions one-on-one and explain the benefits of the policy. The implementation plan has adopted the method of "rewarding a little, giving preferential treatment to enterprises, and spending a little to users" to encourage gas companies to assume social responsibility and jointly promote people's livelihood projects.
5.7 million cylinders can be traced in a closed loop.
While doing a good job in "reform", Dongguan urban management also spared no effort to work the word "check". According to the data, the permanent population of Dongguan City exceeded 10 million, and the number of registered rental houses and self-occupied houses reached 88830,000, 3.78 million gas users, including 2.23 million bottled liquefied gas users, such a large number of users, to the gas safety supervision has brought a lot of challenges.
Comparatively speaking, the biggest safety hazard is bottled liquefied gas users, and more than 2.1 million households in the city have been included in the supervision. "Since 2022, the Dongguan urban management department has completed the "controllable filling, first-class checkability, traceable whereabouts, and accountability" of 5.7 million cylinders by improving the bottled liquefied petroleum gas information intelligent supervision system and empowering science and technology to check the source, so as to realize the closed-loop traceability management of the whole chain. "Users have potential safety hazards, and they can't buy gas without completing rectification; If the enterprise violates laws and regulations, the regulatory department has the right to lock the gun through the system with one key, so that the filling gun and electronic scale cannot work, and it can not be unlocked until the violation of laws and regulations is corrected."
The second is the government-enterprise joint "investigation" to promote rectification. Since 2023, Dongguan has focused on promoting the special treatment of "gas, cylinders, valves, pipes, networks, and environment", and has formed a supervision ledger for all kinds of gas safety hazards found in the inspection, and proposed a rectification period to ensure that the rectification is in place. Consolidate the responsibilities of gas enterprises, require "inspection every time it is delivered", and comprehensively carry out the work of "** household investigation + enterprise household security inspection". A total of 6710,000 catering establishments installed automatic shut-off valves and replaced special metal hoses for gas, with a rectification rate of 100%. Carry out a comprehensive survey of the gas consumption of rental houses and self-houses in the city, implement the management of "one household and one book", and check the progress of 100%.
The management industry must be in charge of safety. Dongguan urban management also according to the responsibilities of the relevant departments, to promote the joint "investigation" of departments, and timely entry of the investigation into the special rectification work system, of which market supervision, fire protection, commerce, education, public security, cultural tourism, health, civil affairs departments rectification rate of 100%.
Zhang Li said that through measures such as intelligent investigation, human investigation, and joint investigation, Dongguan urban management implements the whole chain of hidden danger supervision for each gas cylinder, gas enterprise, and gas user, ensuring the seamless connection and closed cycle of urban gas safety management.
The whole chain and the whole process to combat "black gas".
For a long time, "black gas" has been like a bomb, which may cause public safety accidents at any time. In 2021, Dongguan's "black gas" market accounted for as much as 21%, involving 790,000 households. To this end, they introduced a reward program for reporting to encourage the masses to expose "black gas" clues, and last year received a total of 102 effective clues reported by the masses, and issued 59 reports of bonuses20,000 yuan, including 2 clues, which are very important, triggered the largest crackdown on "black gas" in Dongguan's history.
In August 2023, two key clues handed over by the Municipal Urban Management Bureau attracted the attention of the first generation, thus unveiling a number of "black gas" processing and distribution gangs that have been entrenched in Dongguan for many years. Soon, a special working group jointly formed by the Dongguan Chengguan and the Dongguan Public Security Economic Investigation Detachment was established, and a secret investigation was immediately launched. After 3 months of investigation, it was decided to carry out the net collection in the early morning of December 12, 2023. "The secrecy system was strictly implemented in this operation, and everyone who participated in the operation did not know until they arrived at the destination and opened the envelope that it turned out to be a real operation to crack down on black gas and collect the net."
At 5 o'clock in the morning of the same day, according to the action plan, Zhang Li and others went to the command center of the Dongguan Public Security Bureau for on-site command and dispatch. According to the preliminary monitoring information, the No. 1 target was arrested first, and then the No. 2 target. The operation lasted until noon on the same day, and all 120 people were arrested, and none of them were arrested. In the end, a total of 9 "black gas" processing and distribution gangs were successfully eliminated in this network collection operation, 63 black gas dens were destroyed, 40 vehicles and 10 sets of gas equipment were seized, and 1,246 gas cylinders were seized, with an amount of 24.76 million yuan. This case has also become the "black gas" case involving the largest number of people, the longest chain, the widest scope and the largest amount of money involved in Dongguan in recent years.
This operation shocked us and amazed us at the same time. Zhang Li said that what shocked him was the cunning and perfect black gas management chain of the suspects. In the crackdown operation, a ** station in Gaobu Town used the ** station as a cover to do "black gas" while doing regular gas. "When I first went in, the law enforcement officers didn't know that it was a ** station, and only later did I know that it was a regular ** station that had been recorded. ”
This kind of ** gas is also 'black gas', because its gas source and gas cylinders are not included in the supervision. According to Peng Xuan, a first-level chief clerk of the Gas Section of the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, the traditional "black gas" refers to the bottled liquefied petroleum gas of informal gas enterprises and enterprises and individuals without the "LPG Site Registration Certificate" in illegal business outlets. Although this ** station belongs to a regular gas company and is in a regular business outlet, its gas source is in Jieyang and Shaoguan, and the gas cylinders have not been included in the supervision, and there is no implementation of household security inspection, which is a major safety hazard, so it is also identified as "black gas".
What amazed Zhang Li was that the Dongguan Public Security Department and the Dongguan Urban Management Department showed thunderous action and lightning speed. In addition to the "Double 12" large-scale network collection action, in 2023, the two departments will also jointly launch the "5+2" and "white + black" unconventional governance model, and carry out a carpet investigation and rectification of "black gas" dens to ensure that any outcropping illegal acts will be immediately cracked down, and repeated illegal acts will be repeatedly cracked down on until the hidden dangers of "black gas" are completely eliminated. In 2023, a total of 373 "black gas" dens will be banned in the city, and 2 gas cylinders will be seized20,000, and 233 related vehicles were seized, building a solid line of defense for urban gas safety.
After this operation, the average daily filling capacity of regular gas enterprises in Dongguan increased by about 200 tons.
At the same time, under the guidance of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, it signed a memorandum of understanding with nine cities including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huizhou, and Foshan to jointly crack down on the illegal acts of cross-regional transportation and sales of "black gas" to form a joint defense linkage. Strengthen communication and exchanges with the public procuratorate and law, conduct in-depth research on the standards for filing "black gas" cases, and increase the intensity of the "convergence of the two laws" (the effective connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice) to form a strong warning and deterrent effect. Since 2023, a total of 34 clues on the "black gas" gang case have been transferred to the public security organs; Promoted the verdict of two criminal cases involving the crime of dangerous operation of "black gas", and the three defendants were sentenced to 11 months, 7 months and 4 months in prison respectively for illegal storage of "black gas".
This is also the first time since the implementation of the "Criminal Law Amendment (11)" that Dongguan has pursued criminal responsibility for the crime of dangerous operation. Peng Xuan said: "After the crime of dangerous operation is criminalized, there is a basis for criminal punishment for illegal acts with real danger in the field of production safety, and compared with the crime of illegal operation, the threshold for criminalization is low, similar to drunk driving, and the offender can be sentenced to less than 1 year in prison." This change means that Dongguan's line of defense against 'black gas' has moved forward, increasing the illegal cost of 'black gas' operation, and effectively deterring illegal and criminal activities in the whole chain of black gas, such as storage, transportation and operation. ”
Zhang Li stressed that Dongguan's determination to crack down on "black gas" is unswerving, from vigorously implementing citizen reward reports, jointly weaving a supervision network, to organizing a large-scale unified network collection action covering the whole city and the whole chain to combat "black gas", and then to actively promote the "convergence of the two laws", and include illegal acts involving "black gas" into the scope of criminal punishment. A solid firewall has been built to maintain social stability. It is reported that by the end of 2023, after a series of thunderous actions, the breeding soil of "black gas" in Dongguan has been further cleared, and many potential people have given up illegal acts and returned to legal life.
For the first time, "zero fatalities" in gas accidents were achieved
Gas safety is no trivial matter, and safety precautions are careless" and "gas safety is more important than Mount Tai". Since 2023, Dongguan has sought innovation in the word "publicity" of gas safety, innovated publicity work methods around the theme of gas safety, organized various sub-bureaus to carry out gas safety publicity and popularization activities, and gave full play to the role of gas supply workers in gas enterprises as "propagandists, inspectors, and safety officers", carried out "face-to-face" interactive publicity, and used loud public and electronic screens to carry out "large-scale" roll-out publicity, and organized second-hand landlords, volunteers, and social groups to "enter campuses, families, factories, communities, and urban villages" to carry out " "Point-to-point" precision publicity. In addition, we have made extensive use of social platforms such as WeChat groups and Moments to actively promote relevant links, so that gas safety information can be active on mobile phone screens, and a total of 13.12 million messages have been sent to more than 3.7 million gas users in autumn and winter.
Gas safety, people first. Zhang Li emphasized that gas safety governance is not only an important aspect of social governance, but also a political task. In 2024, the urban management department of Dongguan City will continue to follow the national, provincial and municipal requirements for special rectification of urban gas safety, take gas household inspection as a basic and normalized work, strengthen supervision, consolidate the main responsibility of enterprises, and improve user skills.
It is believed that with the continuous deepening of the "combustion" control, the extensive participation of the public, and the improvement of the institutional system, it is possible to achieve a "double reduction" in the number of gas safety accidents and the number of gas safety accidents, and to control gas safety at a high level.
