A Party official in east China's Anhui province has been removed from
office after absenting himself from the fight against floods, sources
with the local government said Sunday.
Zhang Yunbin, former Party secretary of Zhenxing Village, Runhe Township
of Yingshang County, was deprived of his post, after county discipline
officials found him "not directing work at the flood front," an official
with the county discipline inspection committee said.
On Thursday night, discipline officials went to the village, where they
saw the village deputy Party secretary directing farmers to stack sand
bags to prevent flooding. Zhang was absent and his cell phone was turned
off.
"Zhang left his station at a crucial time, and this had a very negative
impact on the on-going flood prevention work," the discipline official
said.
"Failing responsibility during floods is like touching a high-voltage
electricity wire. Officials that commit any illegal activities or behave
poorly must be immediately and severely punished," he added.
He did not elaborate on what Zhang was doing at the time.
Anhui is still facing immediate flood threats, as torrential rain in
central Henan Province, in the upper reaches of the river, continues to
push the third flood peak of the year towards Wangjiaba, a crucial
hydrological station in Anhui, the local drought prevention and flood
control office said.
In order to ease pressure on the swelling Huaihe River, the sluices at
Wangjiaba were opened last Tuesday to divert waters to a buffer zone that
is home to 150,000 people.
