What is the official response to the follow-up of "destroying grain for afforestation"?

On August 1th, Xinhua Daily Telegraph, a newspaper of Xinhua News Agency, published an incident that Chenbaerhu Banner in Inner Mongolia ditched more than 2, mu of maturing crops to achieve the afforestation target. As soon as this matter was published, it caused great repercussions in society. It is said that the cause of this incident was that at the beginning of 22, the superior issued a pilot task of returning farmland to forests and grasslands in Chenbahuqi.

under the unified deployment of inner Mongolia autonomous region, Hulunbeier municipal government initiated the pilot project of returning farmland to forest and grassland in Daxing' anling and its surrounding areas in order to effectively protect grassland and forest ecosystem. This time, the pilot plots are mainly concentrated in the ecologically sensitive and fragile areas of forest and grassland in Hailaer River and its tributaries, Yimin River and Mozigele River basins in the west of Daxing 'anling. This implementation plan is to return 2, mu of land to forest and grassland. The pilot task of Chenbaerhu Banner is to return 53,5 mu of cultivated land to forest and grassland.

under the notice issued by the Bureau of Forestry and Grass, the pilot plot in Chenbaerhu Banner was asked to stop planting crops. The staff repeatedly told the farmers that they could not sow in the plot of returning farmland through documents, text messages and WeChat, but the effect was not particularly satisfactory. After all, the task of returning farmland to forest and grassland in the pilot area of cultivated forest land in Chenbaerhuqi involves 19 families, one of which involves returning grassland, * * * needs to return 3,5 mu of farmland, and the remaining 18 families all involve returning farmland to forests, * * * needs to return 5, mu of farmland. This planting agreement is signed every year.

among the 19 families involved, a small number of people secretly planted crops on the land of returning farmland without consent and signing a planting contract. Even after the forest farm staff knew about it and came to stop it, they still didn't give up planting crops on the farmland. Finally, after discussion and research by the local public security bureau, procuratorate and other relevant departments, the decision to impose administrative penalties on growers was reached. It's just that it's already July, and when the crops are about to mature, we have to suspend the work of land preparation and forest restoration.

after learning about the whole situation of "destroying grain by ditching on 2, mu of crops to be cooked" questioned by netizens, many local departments directly formed an inspection team to Chenbaerhuqi to investigate the incident in detail. Regarding the matter that 2, mu of ripe crops were ditched and destroyed in Tenihe Forest Farm in Chenbaerhuqi, the relevant person in charge of Hulunbeier Municipal Committee told the reporter that no matter what the reason, we should make inferences about the problems in the work promotion, make scientific overall plans and make reasonable arrangements, and complete the work of returning farmland to forests in a high-quality and orderly manner while ensuring a smooth autumn harvest.

At present, local organizations have been ordered to speed up the orderly harvesting, transportation and storage of crops. At the same time, take the measures of harvesting and afforestation, and speed up the work of returning forests and grasslands. We are trying our best to improve the problems and loopholes in our work, and we will never let this happen again.
