Anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters in an epidemic will be paid by the law.
On June 15th, the Market Supervision Bureau of Dongcheng District, Beijing, based on the clues reported by the masses, filed an investigation into the price violation of Guo Moumou, an individual industrial and commercial household located in Beijing Riyijingsheng Vegetable Market. After investigation, Guo Moumou bought potatoes at 1.3 yuan per catty, and the highest price was raised to 6 yuan per catty to sell. The maximum price difference between purchase and sales reached 361.54%. The nature was bad and the plot was serious. The Dongcheng District Market Supervision Bureau For an illegal act of driving up prices, a fine of more than 100,000 yuan is planned. At present, the case is being processed.
This new epidemic is very serious for Beijing, "Beijing has entered an extraordinary period." At present, Beijing has entered a second-level response state, and it is the time for the whole society to work together and fight the epidemic together. At this time, the merchant was driving up prices and maliciously disturbing the market order, which was a typical "produce disaster", and he was fined without any guilt. The heavy punishment also shows that anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters in the epidemic will be paid by the law.
Since the outbreak of this epidemic in Beijing, the relevant departments have repeatedly emphasized that they should increase supervision and control, and fight against those who use the epidemic to drive up prices. The market supervision department has also clarified the principle of "adhering to the handling of complaints, point-by-point inspection, and quick inspection and quick processing", all of which highlights the determination to crack down on behaviors that drive up prices and disrupt market order.
Price stability is related to the overall situation of epidemic prevention, because only "grass and grass" is sufficient, the society can be stable, and the public can be more confident. In this regard, commercial supermarkets, vegetable markets, and individual industrial and commercial households, which are important supply channels for civilian resources, should actively fulfill their social responsibilities, play a role in maintaining supply and stabilizing prices, and stabilize the "big rear" of epidemic prevention. At this time, Guo Moumou took the opportunity to bid up prices, which is tantamount to taking advantage of the epidemic and disrupting the daily life of residents.
Since the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic this year, cracking down on price hikes has always been an act closely linked to epidemic prevention in various places. Previously, many illegal crimes involving price hikes and price fraud have been investigated and dealt with in various places. This shows that various localities have long reached a basic consensus on such behavior, and it has also continuously shown a "zero tolerance" attitude toward those who drive up prices.
Under the new epidemic in Beijing this time, because some vegetable supply markets, including the Xinfadi wholesale market, are temporarily closed, it may bring some pressure on the supply of materials, but at this time, the more prominent the vegetable supply channel value The importance of stabilizing supply is even more tolerant of forgetful behavior and undermines the epidemic prevention and control front.
Compared with large-scale supermarkets, some small individual industrial and commercial households may face certain cost and supply pressure on the dishes. Of course, the price fluctuations in line with market rules can also be understood, but this individual owner mentioned the highest price difference between the sales and sales as 361.54%. It is naked and malicious price increase, which is tantamount to "robbing on fire". In this regard, the idea of cracking down on this kind of big money will be severely punished to prevent similar behaviors from being transmitted to the market and triggering a wave of price increases.
However, due to the small scale of such small business hawkers and the concealment of price increases, it also reminds that the market supervision department should extend the supervision tentacles and increase the awareness of illegal price increases, and strictly limit this by actively investigating and encouraging reports. This kind of behavior does not give him any chance to show up.
At the same time, it is necessary to remind that with the temporary closure of the Xinfadi market, all districts have started the emergency guarantee mechanism as soon as possible. Major chain stores and e-commerce platforms have doubled their supply. The overall supply of daily necessities in the city is stable and orderly. Citizens do not have to panic about the supply of materials, and there is no need to buy large quantities of goods. Rational purchases based on actual needs are sufficient to ensure daily life.
Epidemic prevention and control is a process that the whole society participates in. The stable supply of materials is related to the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control. Any unlawful act that drives up prices and hoards strangely will add chaos to epidemic prevention, and there must be "zero tolerance" for this, and no concessions should be allowed.
