Socialization of fire extinguisher equipment
Delegate Duy Hoang Duong (Hoai Duc district group) questioned that recently Hanoi City has had many directives on fire prevention and fighting, but in reality, many fires still occur. He asked the Director of Hanoi City Police to clarify the responsibilities of relevant units?
Responding to the question of delegate Duy Hoang Duong, Director of Hanoi City Police Nguyen Hai Trung said that this is a hot issue not only in Hanoi but also in the whole country. Regarding the implementation of Resolution 05/NQ-HDND dated July 16, 2022 of the City People's Council, immediately after the resolution was issued, the unit conducted a review of more than 2,980 establishments that did not ensure fire safety conditions, showing that 2,971 establishments committed to the implementation schedule; 2,963 establishments developed implementation plans; 2,935 establishments were approved by the District People's Committee to commit to the implementation plan; 735 establishments have established budget estimates; 146 establishments have prepared design documents...
Regarding shortcomings and limitations, currently, 2 districts have not completed urging establishments to develop commitment plans according to the roadmap; 3 districts have not completed approving the commitment plans for implementation roadmap of the establishments; 20 districts have not completed urging establishments to survey the general implementation costs; some districts have let establishments in their management areas miss out.
Compared to the city's target of completing at least 70% of facilities (equivalent to 2,086 facilities) in 2024, only 91 facilities have completed overcoming existing problems and limitations in fire prevention and fighting, so it is likely that the units will not complete the city's target.
Explaining the cause, Director of Hanoi City Police Nguyen Hai Trung said that there are many subjective and objective causes in this issue, in which the subjective cause is that some district, town and city People's Committees have not really paid attention; coordination with departments, branches and sectors is not close; some heads of establishments do not have a correct understanding of the role of fire prevention and fighting work; and do not pay attention to fire prevention and fighting work.
"There are many difficulties and obstacles in this work. Recently, the City People's Council has paid great attention to this work and the issuance of the Resolution on Fire Prevention and Fighting at the meeting has contributed to resolving the current shortcomings in fire prevention and fighting work" - the Director of the City Police Department stated.
Regarding the direction in the coming time, Director of Hanoi City Police Nguyen Hai Trung said that for units that have not completed the work of urging establishments to develop a roadmap commitment plan and establish an estimate of implementation costs, they need to urgently complete it; District People's Committees must approve the roadmap commitment plan of 100% of establishments under their management. In particular, Hanoi City departments, branches and district People's Committees must direct the immediate overcoming of shortcomings and limitations in fire prevention and fighting and search and rescue work of establishments, units and units under their management.
At the same time, proactively review the progress of overcoming the existing problems of the facilities to guide the facilities to implement. For facilities that have committed to completing in 2023 but have not yet fulfilled their commitments, they must work to request the facilities to properly implement them. For the Department of Finance, continue to guide and urge the city's departments and branches to implement the resolution according to their management functions, use the city's budget to make estimates, and overcome the existing problems in fire prevention and fighting according to the resolution.
The Department of Construction continues to preside over and coordinate with the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities to conduct a general inspection, review and inventory of old apartment buildings that are subject to adjustment under the resolution but have not been included in the list of projects to renovate and rebuild old apartment buildings in the city.
Regarding the implementation of Resolution 26-NQ/HDND TP of the City People's Council related to the target of 100% of households equipped with fire extinguishers, 100% having a second escape route, Director of Hanoi City Police Nguyen Hai Trung said that up to now, 1,481,237 households have equipped themselves with fire extinguishers (reaching 86.43%); 75.3% of households have opened a second escape route; 13/30 districts have not completed the task of households opening a second escape route; and 20 units have not ensured that 100% of households are equipped with portable fire extinguishers.
The reason is that the number of households is very large, along with that some authorities have not really paid attention to directing, have not proactively performed the functions and tasks of State management on fire prevention and fighting according to their authority, but consider this work to be the sole responsibility of the police force. At the same time, the awareness and consciousness of fire prevention and fighting of a number of heads of establishments and householders are still subjective, putting the goal of economic production and benefits above all, not paying attention to ensuring fire prevention and fighting safety; infrastructure planning has not met the requirements compared to socio-economic development, there are many small alleys and small streets, so fire trucks cannot access the water supply system to serve fire fighting work.
Regarding the purchase of fire extinguishers, the Director of Hanoi City Police said that currently, the rate of households that have not equipped themselves is relatively high, and in the coming time, it is necessary to continue to urge.
"It is very difficult for families to equip themselves with fire extinguishers because many households do not have enough to eat, so we suggest that if wards and communes have the conditions, they should buy them in advance, distribute them to households, and then socialize them," suggested Hanoi City Police Director Nguyen Hai Trung.
Enhance responsibility in performing public duties
Concluding the question-and-answer session on the implementation of discipline, order and responsibility in performing public duties at state agencies in the city, Chairman of the City People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan said that 29 delegates had raised questions and debated. The Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, Directors of Departments, branches and Chairmen of District People's Committees and 2 Directors of Project Management Boards participated in the question-and-answer session.
Through the questioning content, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan made a number of conclusions. Specifically, strengthening discipline and order; enhancing responsibility in performing public duties at state agencies is very important, especially for the capital Hanoi. Determining that meaning, in recent years, the City has identified the theme as: "Discipline, responsibility, action, creativity, development". On August 7, 2023, the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee issued Directive No. 24-CT/2023/TU on "Strengthening discipline and responsibility in handling work in the political system of Hanoi City", thereby creating a fundamental change in the awareness and action of Party committees, authorities, and political systems from the City to the grassroots, initially promoting positive effects.
However, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan also said that, in addition to the achieved results, through the supervision of the City People's Council and through the questions of the City People's Council delegates, it can be seen that there are still some shortcomings and limitations, such as: The promulgation of regulations, the development and implementation of work programs, the assignment of tasks, the inspection and urging of the implementation of tasks at some agencies and units are not clear, not drastic, and not effective.
Administrative reform, including the improvement of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) and the Provincial Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI), has not met the requirements and is showing a downward trend. Some administrative procedures, internal processes, norms and unit prices are still slow to be issued. There are still cases of overdue administrative procedure settlement records, and settlement results have not met the requirements of the people and businesses.
Consulting and proposing to the People's Council and People's Committee to issue mechanisms and policies of the city is still slow; many contents have to be postponed or delayed, and the quality of documents is not guaranteed.
The implementation of resolutions and supervision conclusions of the People's Council and the Standing Committee of the City People's Council in some units and localities is not serious and effective. Some contents are supervised and re-supervised but the progress is slow, the committed progress is not guaranteed, and the implementation is not effective. Some voters' recommendations are well-founded but have not been resolved completely and thoroughly.
Coordination between some departments, branches, districts, towns and cities is still lacking in closeness and effectiveness, especially in removing obstacles and difficulties, and solving difficult and complicated problems.
There are still some cadres, civil servants and public employees who have not seriously implemented discipline, order, internal rules and regulations; there is a lack of responsibility, avoidance, shirking, giving "roundabout" advice, unclear viewpoints, a "backward" mentality and not doing anything.
Based on the content of the questioning of the Hanoi People's Council and the responses of the Hanoi People's Committee, departments, branches, and People's Committees of districts, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan requested the Hanoi People's Committee and Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee to direct: fully absorb the opinions of the City People's Council delegates and develop a plan to overcome the shortcomings and limitations that have been pointed out. Review all the contents of the tasks assigned according to the direction of the Central, National Assembly, Government, Prime Minister, City Party Committee, the requirements after supervision, questioning, and explanation of the People's Council, Standing Committee of the City People's Council to direct the implementation to ensure quality and progress.
The specific conclusions about this group of questions will be compiled and submitted to the City People's Council to issue a Resolution for the questioning session.
