More than 70000 Ziwei saplings were forcibly destroyed? Shaanxi Ankang Notice: The land belongs to the scope of rectification
Notice on the Verification of Online Reports of Over 70000 Ziwei Tree Seedlings Being Forcefully Destroyed by the Jiangbei Office of Hanbin District
Recently, the Jiangbei Sub district Office immediately organized personnel to conduct an investigation after the internet reported that over 70000 seedlings of Ziwei trees were forcibly destroyed by the Jiangbei Office in Hanbin District.
After verification, the netizen reported that the land is located in Group 6 of Zhujiawan Village, Jiangbei Street, with a total area of 4.8 acres. The land is classified as basic farmland, and the land contractor is Zhu, Fang, and Zhou from Group 6 of Zhujiawan Village. The remaining 0.56 acres are ditches. According to the investigation, in 2013, Hu contacted three villagers, Zhu, Fang, and Zhou, and verbally agreed to rent the above-mentioned land for seedling cultivation. The verbally agreed rent was 100 yuan per acre per year, and no written agreement was signed, nor was it recorded in the group and village where the farmers were located. During this period, Hu failed to fulfill the promised fees of Fang. Zhou paid a fee of 200 yuan and Zhu paid a fee of 2000 yuan. In early August 2023, after the rectification and restoration work on the issue of farmland outflow in Zhujiawan Village was carried out, three households of villagers, Zhu, Fang, and Zhou, proactively approached the village committee and requested that the committee rectify and restore the three basic farmland areas in accordance with policies. In mid August 2023, the village committee, through procedures such as individual farmer declaration and meeting research, and with the request and guidance of three villagers, carried out a special team for village rectification work to carry out land reclamation operations on the above-mentioned plots.
The online real name whistleblower Hu Gaogao is actually a relative of Hu. The three households mentioned above in Group 6 of Zhujiawan Village and the officials of Zhujiawan Village claim that they have never met Hu Chonggao, and none of them know him, nor have they reached any verbal or written agreements with him. In response to Hu Gaogao's feedback that "my saplings are not even included in this rectification", after verification by the natural resources department, the land has been a permanent basic farmland since 2009, not a newly designated permanent basic farmland after 2021, and therefore falls within the scope of this rectification.
