New rural construction is not

cultivated land "long"

The reason for villas

Pingqiao District, Xinyang City, Henan Province has occupied rural cultivated land for development Regarding the real estate chaos, the official website of the Xinyang Municipal Government released the progress of the investigation and handling of the incident, stating that it will resolutely demolish the houses built on illegal land, and the relevant units and responsible persons involved in violations of laws, regulations, and disciplines will be held strictly accountable in accordance with the law and disciplines. At the same time, we will investigate to the end, draw inferences from one example, and resolutely secure the initiative in food security and guard the red line of cultivated land. ?

A house of 270 square meters only costs 450,000 yuan, which means the price per square meter is more than 1,000 yuan. In the current context of high housing prices, such cheap townhouses are indeed attractive. It is no wonder that many city residents are rushing to buy them. However, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that no matter how cheap the price is, it cannot hide the illegal facts behind the house. The local government borrowed the name of new rural construction to build townhouses for sale on land that was originally basic farmland. Subsequently, they also applied for a rural construction planning permit and a land use certificate. To put it bluntly, it is just the "commercialization" of housing that should originally meet the living needs of farmers.

It is the responsibility of the people to protect basic farmland. It is the bounden duty of governments at all levels to protect basic farmland. Over the years, the central government has issued repeated orders to protect the red line of 1.8 billion acres of cultivated land. The attitude and measures are unprecedented. "Government Work" The report also specifically stated: "Strengthen the protection of cultivated land, resolutely curb the 'non-agriculturalization' of cultivated land, and prevent the 'non-grain conversion'." These laws, regulations and policy requirements must be clear to all regions, especially for random occupation in various places. Regarding issues such as building houses on cultivated land, building houses in violation of ecological protection red line control requirements, illegal purchase of homesteads and houses with small property rights by urban residents, the relevant departments clearly require that "no registration shall be carried out, and illegal land use shall not be legalized through registration"

However, under high pressure, Pingqiao District of Xinyang City is still able to build houses on farmland and put them on the public sale. This only shows that many laws, regulations and policies often encounter certain obstacles when they reach the grassroots level in some places, making it difficult to truly implement them. The local government and relevant departments are tacit and do not investigate or correct. Even if they are exposed, they only deal with specific cases "violently and vigorously". This kind of hindsight and hindsight in the implementation of central government decrees and administration in accordance with the law. Slowly swallowing and even violating it has also produced many negative effects, which not only harmed the interests of the public, but also affected the process of the government's rule of law construction.

Despite the banner of new rural construction, Xinyang Are the regulatory authorities at all levels really unaware of the construction of houses on basic farmland in Pingqiao District? Not necessarily. The construction of a large number of houses is not a secret matter, and it involves various departments and links. How could it be hidden? What's more, these houses also have rural construction planning permits and land use certificates. One detail is intriguing: the director of the Pingqiao District Xiaodian Township Land Management Office not only ignored the "long" villas on the farmland, but also actively helped them. It’s really shocking to just accuse the regulatory authorities of failing to perform their duties. Why can villas be successfully built on cultivated land? , the land management department and a series of other gates have all been lost? In addition to the developer factors, what kind of interest conflicts are there? These questions still need to be further investigated. Only in this way can we give the public a responsible explanation. Able to truly "do not avoid the problem and get to the bottom of it"

It can also be seen from this incident that the phenomenon of not adhering to the law and doing whatever one wants still exists in some places. Later, instead of trying to implement it, some places tried their best to exploit loopholes and play tricks. Originally, the central government advocated the construction of new rural areas to improve the rural living environment and improve farmers' production and living quality. However, in some places, it was distorted. The level of governance and governance capabilities of illegally occupying farmland for real estate are worrisome?

The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued the "Eight Don'ts" for the unauthorized occupation of farmland to build houses in rural areas. The Notice clearly stipulates that illegal occupation of cultivated land to build houses under false pretenses is not allowed.

These "not allowed" listed in the notice cover many important current tasks such as "rural revitalization", "beautiful countryside", "new rural construction", "facilitated agriculture", "relocation poverty alleviation" and "relocation". This also shows that there are indeed many people in many places who are interested in these jobs.

The construction of new rural areas is not the reason for "growing" villas on farmland. ?

In this regard, on the one hand, we must strengthen top-down inspections and inspections, continue to maintain high-pressure policies, and resolutely put an end to all kinds of administrative behaviors that "play sheep's heads and sell dog meat" so that good policies can truly benefit Thousands of households;?

On the other hand, we must continue to strengthen the legal awareness of government officials at all levels, so that they can truly respect the law, abide by policies, and improve their governance capabilities. In addition, the channels for complaints and reports should also be broadened so that the voices of the "lowers" can be heard by the "tops". Once the information is communicated, the space for arbitrary manipulation at the grassroots level will be greatly reduced.
