The safety committee of the State Council held a national teleconference on the safety of self built houses on the 7th. Liu He, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, vice premier of the State Council and director of the safety committee of the State Council, attended the meeting and deployed special rectification work. Wang Yong, State Councilor and deputy director of the safety committee of the State Council, presided over the meeting. Zhao Kezhi, State Councilor and deputy director of the safety committee of the State Council, attended the meeting and spoke. Relevant departments and localities made key speeches. The meeting requested that we should adhere to the people first and life first, thoroughly investigate the causes of the collapse of self built houses by residents in Changsha, Hunan, and strictly deal with the relevant responsible persons according to law. Make every effort to carry out special rectification, focusing on self built houses involving public safety. Establish a special rectification leadership mechanism, strictly implement the territorial responsibilities of local Party committees and governments at all levels, and insist that industry management departments should manage both industry and safety. It is necessary to conduct comprehensive classified rectification, check house by house and "one building, one policy" rectification. Severely crack down on illegal acts endangering construction safety and strictly implement safety responsibilities. We will improve the long-term mechanism and strengthen the supervision of design and construction teams, housing appraisal institutions and employees. The meeting stressed the need to step up the national inspection of work safety, actively investigate and eliminate all kinds of potential safety hazards, strengthen urban fire prevention and control, and resolutely reverse the situation of frequent accidents. We should make progress while maintaining stability, coordinate the overall situation, and do all our work carefully and realistically. (Xinhua News Agency)
