China News Service, Urumqi, September 13 (Pan Qi) On the evening of September 13, Korla City, Xinjiang held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control.
Yang Songbo, the city's deputy mayor, said that since the outbreak of the current round of the epidemic, Korla City has strictly strengthened market supervision to ensure the orderly and standardized operation of the market economy.
Effective countermeasures are formulated in response to relevant problems, and illegal and criminal acts that take advantage of the opportunity to drive up prices for profit during the epidemic prevention and control period are severely cracked down in accordance with the law.
According to him, Korla City issued the "Reminder and Warning Letter on Market Price Behavior During the Epidemic Prevention and Control Period" to remind and warn the operators, and issued the "Notes on Community Group Purchases During the Epidemic Period" for consumption reminders.
Strictly regulate the price and quality standards of vegetable bags distributed in towns and communities.
Citizens can call the 12315 consumer complaint reporting hotline or the Korla Market Supervision Bureau director hotline 0996-2039315, or call the 12345 government service hotline or the "Lima Office" complaint hotline 0996-2211365.
Yang Songbo said that after the investigation and analysis of the high prices of "vegetable baskets" recently reported by the public, there are mainly the following reasons: First, there are very few unscrupulous merchants who take the opportunity to raise prices.
Second, due to the traffic control of the epidemic, the transportation of vegetables has been affected to a certain extent.
The price of some vegetables has risen due to the decline in the production of some vegetables in different seasons.
It is difficult to hire labor, and factors such as loading and unloading fees and transfer fees increase, causing vegetable prices to rise.
From yesterday evening to 19:00 today, more than 22,000 vegetable packs have been delivered free of charge, and the remaining vegetable packs will be delivered as soon as possible.
In addition, he also said that today, we received reports from individual residents that the vegetable packs purchased were free vegetable packs issued by the government.
After verification, it was confirmed that some residents had purchased enough vegetables in their homes in the past two days, so they sold free vegetable packs to other residents, which had a negative impact.
Korla City has issued the "Announcement on Prohibiting the Sale and Purchase of Free Vegetable Bags", which clearly stipulates that free vegetable bags cannot be sold. If residents have enough vegetables in their homes, they can donate the vegetable bags to other residents, or return the vegetable bags to the community for redistribution. , the general public is welcome to supervise.
