Officials answer for environmental woes
Print Edition
China has held 1,140 officials of eight provincial-level regions accountable for environmental damages, following investigations by central inspectors last year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said yesterday.
After central authorities conducted the first round of environmental inspections in eight regions from July to August last year, 130 department-level officials were held responsible and four of them were referred to the judiciary, said the ministry.
Inspectors found and referred 100 cases regarding environmental damages to local governments, and they demanded further investigation, said Liu Changgen, deputy director of the national environmental inspection office.
The officials held accountable were publicly named, admonished, ordered to apologize, given Party disciplinary or administrative punishment, or referred to judicial authorities. Nine were investigated for criminal responsibility.
The inspected regions were Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan and Ningxia.
Henan held 227 officials accountable, more than other regions, while Inner Mongolia held the most number of department-level officials responsible.
