Wall company suspended
Print Edition
Authorities have ordered a wall materials company in northern Shanxi Province to suspend operations following media reports exposing environmental wrongdoings and its violence toward reporters.
Official investigations following reports in September confirmed that the company released excessive and untreated gas from two underground stores, said the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
And its security workers pushed reporters, broke a video camera and snatched press cards, the ministry said.
Operations will remain closed until environmental protection departments approve their rectifications within a deadline, or it will be shut down altogether, said the statement, citing the government of Lingshi County, where the company is located.
Security worker Cui Zhiqiang was fired by the company and is in police detention on criminal charges, while three officials in the county environmental protection bureau received punishments ranging from warnings to the sack.
