Now Unrest And COVID 19 Flare Up Reported From Inner Mongolia Region of China : Border city Party chief Sacked
There seems to be a lot up unrest in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region along with reports of a massive flare up of the Wuhan Virus. Chen Zhanyun, the Party chief of Ejin Banne has been dismissed, from the position on Tuesday unceremoniously.
Meanwhile, Alxa League the county having the biggest flare up has reported three news of sacking of three more officials for dereliction of duty. Another city in the region has punished six officials for slack response in the last COVID-19 flare-up. Even a local police bureau deputy director was removed from the position, thus confirming the seriousness of the situation.
Cao Xiaofeng, a deputy director of a local police bureau, failed to impose strict control. Following an investigation, authorities found that many vehicles passed the checkpoints after destroying roadblocks put up for security. Cao, as an official in charge failed to identify the problems and take effective measures, which have increased the unrest in the Region.
Central Authorities decided to remove Cao’s position as the deputy director of the police bureau. Another official, Cheng Ting, from the civil affairs bureau, was summoned for dressing down by Regional discipline commission for failing to report situation in the area and dereliction of duty by local officials, which led to mishandling of the situation.
Those misconducts and tensions have also posed a negative impact on the Regional epidemic prevention work in areas bordering Mongolia, which has been recording double-digit increases in COVID-19 cases.
The latest announcement of dereliction of duty came after Ejin announced on Sunday harsh punishment on six officials including local health commission’s heads for their slack response and ineffective management since October 17.
