After more than ten days of cold, Hangzhou finally got a little warmth on February 23, 2005. This warmth seems to be an encouragement to the owners of Nan 'an Flower City to protect their rights. But obviously, the "March 9 cold weather" has just begun.

This "March 9 cold day" does not mean the coldest day of the year, but the sudden "cemetery incident", which made more than 500 owners of Nan 'an Huacheng feel "chilling".

Yin and Yang are separated by a wall.

On February 8, 2005, the owner of 65438 Nan 'an Flower City in Yan Wen Town, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou found that a large cemetery named Sanjiang Ecological Cemetery in Yang Qi Scenic Area suddenly appeared outside the east wall. It is understood that this cemetery now covers an area of 20 mu and has 1400 caves; The second phase will increase by 20 mu, and the number of graves will increase by 8,000.

"The cemetery was built under extremely hidden conditions. Since August 2005, the fence here is very high and the iron gate is closed. We found that the cemetery had been built and the project was in the final stage. In the north gate of Nan 'an Flower City, it can be clearly seen that thousands of yin houses have been arranged neatly. The most puzzling thing is that there is only a wall between the cemetery and Nan 'an Flower City. " An owner described it to Xiaokang.

Another owner wrote such a sad remark on the website of "Nan 'an Flower City Owners Forum": he regretted buying a house in Nan 'an Flower City. I am not rich. The house has saved more than one million yuan, and I borrowed it temporarily from relatives and friends, and I also paid a huge mortgage, which needs to be paid back every month. But who would have thought that it was Sanjiang cemetery separated from my eagerly awaited home by a wall! The cemetery is close to home, and the cemetery is adjacent to the community. Nan 'an Flower City became a "characteristic community" across the boundary of Yin and Yang overnight. Imagine hearing the firecrackers and cries of the undertaker from time to time during the day; At midnight, everything is horribly quiet. Who else can live safely except the cemetery keeper? I'm afraid none of us have such psychological endurance, or the difference is so great that we are willing to spend millions to be a mausoleum keeper.

In response to this matter, the owners of Nan 'an Flower City stayed up all night and were worried. They can't figure out why such a large-scale cemetery should be built in a high-end residential area separated by a wall. How on earth did it choose the site for this project?

The examination and approval unit does not know that the cemetery is adjacent to the community.

"We approved the Sanjiang Ecological Cemetery Project in Yang Qi Scenic Area, which was probably reported by the government of Joy Town in Xiaoshan District in the summer of 2004." On June 5438+1October 65438+April, 2006, a person in charge of Xiaoshan District Planning and Development Bureau of Hangzhou, surnamed Wang, told Xiaokang that the purpose of this project was to cooperate with the convening of the 2006 Hangzhou World Leisure Expo (hereinafter referred to as Leisure Expo). Xiaoshan District Oriental Cultural Park is one of the main venues of leisure Expo, and there are a lot of random graves and wild graves around it (including Yangqi Mountain).

According to reports, due to historical reasons, there are 1400 graves of original villagers scattered on Yang Qi Mountain, which has a great impact on the overall landscape of Yang Qi Scenic Area. Therefore, the Xiaoshan District Leisure Expo Leading Group Office takes the lead, and the governments of Yan Wen Town and Joy Town are responsible for site selection, land use implementation and implementation. The project covers an area of more than 20 mu. The name of the project is "Sanjiang Cemetery", which is essentially a rural public welfare ecological reburial project.

In this regard, the boss of Nan 'an Flower City said that good things should also be scientifically demonstrated and carefully organized. The starting point of this project is good, but the relevant units rashly engage in major issues such as site selection demonstration, scheme determination, and relocation of scattered graves of "Sanjiang Cemetery", in fact, all scattered graves on Yang Qi Mountain have been moved to the next door of Huacheng. The scale is huge and shocking.

The person in charge of Wang Xing said: "At that time, there was no mention in the report on the construction of Sanjiang Cemetery that there was a high-grade residential area' Nan 'an Flower City' next to Yang Qi Scenic Area. The report was made by Joey Town, Xiaoshan District, and the location of the cemetery also belongs to Joey Town. Nan 'an Flower City is located under the jurisdiction of Yan Wen Town, Xiaoshan District. Geographically, Nan 'an Flower City and Sanjiang Cemetery belong to two towns, separated by a wall. " He said he didn't know that Sanjiang Mausoleum was so close to Nan 'an Flower City.

Nan 'an Flower City and Cemetery belong to two towns, and it may be right to say that the two towns did not communicate in time on site selection. However, the Minutes of the Work Meeting on Moving Graves in Yang Qi Scenic Area of Oriental Cultural Park issued by the Office of the Leading Group for Leisure Expo in Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou clearly requires that "the ecological cemetery must be built according to the planning high standards approved by the District Civil Affairs Bureau, and the corresponding basic supporting services should be done well". Then, Xiaoshan District Civil Affairs Bureau should know that the Sanjiang Cemetery to be built is next to the South Bank Flower City.

"Lag" or "Advance" in the Implementation of Laws and Regulations

According to the owner, the owner of Nan 'an Flower City has never been consulted in the examination and approval of Sanjiang Cemetery, and the owner of Nan 'an Flower City has never known that there is such a large-scale cemetery next to the community. After the incident, the owner petitioned the relevant government departments and found that the cemetery had been established as early as June 22, 2004 +20041October 22, but it was not until the recent cemetery incident that the owner knew that the cemetery was separated from the Nan 'an Flower City by a wall.

As a matter of fact, Zhejiang Province has explicit provisions on the location of cemeteries. Article 24 of the Regulations on Funeral Management in Zhejiang Province (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) stipulates that cemeteries and rural public welfare cemeteries should be built on barren hills, slopes, non-cultivated land or uncultivated wasteland. It is forbidden to build cemeteries, rural public welfare cemeteries or other graves on railways, highways (national highways and provincial highways), on both sides of navigable rivers, near reservoirs and dams, and in water source protection areas, cultural relics protection areas, cultivated land, scenic spots, development zones, residential areas, forest parks and nature reserves.

The location of Sanjiangling is so close to Nan 'an Flower City, which obviously violates the provisions of the Regulations. However, the reply of Xiaoshan District Civil Affairs Bureau was "the laws and regulations are lagging behind", which surprised the owners. Some owners said angrily, "This is a blatant disregard for the seriousness of laws and regulations. Before the promulgation of the new "Regulations", we can ignore the legality of the original "Regulations" and go our own way? Is it an understatement to think that the "regulations" are lagging behind and can do whatever they want? No matter how the new regulations will be formulated, the Notice of the General Office of Zhejiang Provincial Government [2004] No.50 on Further Deepening the Funeral Reform and Implementing the Ecological Funeral Law in an All-round Way, cited by Xiaoshan District Civil Affairs Bureau, mentioned that the graves in the' Three Borders and Five Districts' should be rectified. Does the government mean to put all scattered graves next to residential areas? "

Owners' rights protection is full of twists and turns.

In order to finally solve the "cemetery incident" in Nan 'an Flower City, the owners spontaneously set up the "Nan 'an Flower City Owners' Rights Protection Group" from June 5438 to February 65438 to April 2005, and opened a rights protection hotline and e-mail box to inform Xiaokang of the progress of the incident at any time.

"I hope to stabilize the excitement of the owner by investigating the truth of the incident. We should find out the facts and don't let the vulnerable groups who don't know the truth be hurt by this incident. Give us a harmonious and peaceful South Bank Flower City, give our city a quiet and harmonious, and give our laws and regulations a serious and fair. " The rights protection team positions itself like this.

The work of the rights group has won the trust and support of the majority of owners, and they have donated money to raise funds for the activities of the rights group, and solved the expenses of transporting gasoline, printing information documents, hotline maintenance, and obtaining evidence.

Since June 5438+February 65438+June, 2005, the rights protection group has sent urgent appeals to relevant government departments, to the Standing Committee of Hangzhou Municipal People's Congress and Xiaoshan District People's Congress, and sent an open letter to Xiaoshan District Civil Affairs Bureau, petitioning relevant departments such as civil affairs, planning, land, construction and planning.

From June 5438 to February 28, 2005, with the intervention of relevant departments, the related work of Sanjiang Cemetery has been temporarily suspended. Rights groups say that although things are moving in a positive direction, this is only a staged victory. The owner's request is to cancel the project and approval of Sanjiang cemetery and quickly restore the original appearance of the mountain; Moved graves and scattered graves on Yang Qi Mountain will be located and moved in the near future; If the above two items cannot be realized, the owner of Nan 'an Flower City requests a public hearing on the establishment of "Sanjiang Cemetery".

65438+ 10 65438+At 3 pm in June 2006, Xiaokang received a short message from the rights protection group: the rights protection action has made substantial progress and Sanjiang Cemetery will be relocated! Subsequently, the reporter also saw the notice of rights protection issued by the rights protection team on the website of "Nan 'an Huacheng Owners' Rights Protection Forum": The original "Sanjiang Cemetery" will be relocated after being confirmed by local government departments such as Xiaoshan District Civil Affairs Bureau, Letters and Calls Office, Joy Town and Yan Wen Town through multiple channels, and the cement grave is now being moved out of the cemetery, and the related work has been nearly completed.

Who pays for planning mistakes?

This is really encouraging news before the Spring Festival is coming. After more than a month's rights protection, the owners of Nan 'an Flower City finally got the result. However, the whole incident is not completely over. As the rights group said in the briefing, "The dream of the South Bank Flower City has begun to continue, and I sincerely hope that the scattered graves of the villagers in Yangqishan will be properly placed."

It is reported that there used to be 26 scattered graves in Yan Wen Town in Sanjiang Cemetery, and now Sanjiang Cemetery will be relocated, which means that these 26 scattered graves that have just moved in will be moved again. How will their families accept this fact?

Xiaokang said in an interview with Xiaoshan District Civil Affairs Bureau that the construction of Sanjiang Ecological Cemetery is mainly to gather these scattered old graves and arrange them in an orderly manner. If completed, the whole external environment will definitely be greatly improved. Of course, the renovation of Shan Ye's chaotic graves and old graves is also in line with the spirit of environmental governance of the Hangzhou Municipal Government. This project has stopped, there is nothing to say.

"Sanjiang ecological cemetery, we are not very clear. The site selection work is mainly completed by the civil affairs department. I don't work now, and it's meaningless to talk about it again. " A comrade surnamed Chen from Xiaoshan District Land and Resources Bureau is unwilling to talk about this matter again.

But is there really nothing to say? The owners of Nan 'an Flower City have suffered great mental pressure and economic losses. The capital investment in the cemetery construction of Sanjiang Cemetery, which covers an area of 20 mu, and the cost of relocating the cemetery require the relocation of the cemetery, which requires a lot of money. Who should pay for these losses? Article 24 of the Regulations stipulates: "The establishment of a cemetery shall be approved by the municipal and county civil affairs departments and submitted to the provincial civil affairs departments for examination and approval. The establishment of cemeteries, rural ashes storage places and rural public welfare cemeteries shall go through the relevant examination and approval procedures with the planning, land, planning, forestry and other departments according to law. Without approval, no unit or individual may establish cemeteries, rural ashes storage places and rural public welfare cemeteries. " It can be seen that the location of the cemetery is not a matter for a certain department, and the "board" cannot be hit on the ass of a certain department.

The real reason for the "cemetery incident" may be that there is some shady transaction behind it, as one owner said. (Text/Li Xiujiang Yan Wenjia)
