Locals' feeling about chemical enterprises after the explosion in Xiangshui

In Chenjiagang Town, where Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park is located, shops on the streets have changed their doors and windows, but many of them have not opened yet. Xiangshui and Binhai Chemical Industrial Park, most enterprises are still in the process of shutdown and rectification. Part of the migrant workers leave, local employees seek employment opportunities; most chemical plants stop production for safety inspection, and some factories consider relocation or reorganization. Xiangshui County, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, a 301 county-level highway from west to east, is Chen Xue's (pseudonym) return home from work to Tianjiayi Company, is also the only way for businessmen to charter cars when the chemical park is booming, and is also the witness of the prosperity and decline of Xiangshui in the past decades. On both sides of the road at the end of June, there were lush vegetation. The broken glass windows of Jiangsu Tianyuan Company had not yet been repaired. Occasionally, we could see the landing signs, and we were talking about the past.

On March 21, an explosion caused by a chemical enterprise rang through the county town of Shuishui, which also triggered industry shocks. On June 27, three months after the explosion of 3.21 in Xiangshui County, the reporter came to the site of the explosion again, the Xiangshui Chemical Park in Chenjiagang Town, Xiangshui County. Today, chemical parks are still surrounded by cordon lines and need to show passes to enter.

Everything in Xiangshui Chemical Park was pressed the pause button, and the lives of residents in Xiangshui County and the surrounding chemical park were disrupted for a time, and then gradually returned to calm-a large number of migrant workers left, the flow of shop passengers declined, and families searched for new sources of income. Like the residents of small towns, there are also local chemical parks, where the chemical industry will go in the future and whether it can be revitalized after the reorganization?

Some local people say that after the renovation, the management of chemical enterprises will be further standardized and unified, and the hidden dangers of safety and environmental protection will also have a great progress. Elimination of degree. Some chemical experts said that, because the overall capacity of China's chemical industry is sufficient, in the long run, the shutdown of the chemical park will not cause too great impact on the industry.

A few days ago, listed companies Anoqi, Lianhua Science and Technology, Jiangsu Wuzhong all told reporters that the company's factory in Xiangshui Chemical Park has been shut down, only a small number of employees are cleaning up. At present, no formal written notification of the closure of the chemical park has been received, whether to relocate, and whether to relocate. The relocation address has not been determined. Less than 2 km from Xiangshui Chemical Park is the street of Chenjiagang Town. At a glance, almost all the shops here have been replaced with new aluminum alloy doors and windows, many of which have not yet started business. Faced with a large number of migrant workers leaving, the business of hotels and small stores is much worse than before. Only one shop making aluminium alloy doors and windows can still maintain its business, even need to work overtime to make orders, and the business of curtain shops has increased slightly in the short term.

Binhai Chemical Park and Xiangshui Chemical Park belong to Yancheng City, the former is located in Binhai County, the latter is located in Chenjiagang Town, Xiangshui County. After the explosion of Xiangshui 3.21, the Yancheng Committee decided on April 4 to completely close the Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park, and the Binhai County Chemical Industry Park went into a standstill together.

On June 27, in the sunset, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Binhai Chemical Park. All chemical factories were closed, and only a few factories were left behind by security personnel. Security personnel of Yancheng Fuyou Pharmaceutical Chemical Co., Ltd. and Ruifuxin Jiangsu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. told reporters that Binhai County Chemical Industrial Park stopped production shortly after the sound water explosion, and the factories in the park had to undergo safety checks with complete procedures. Only then can we start work one after another. Many small factories have been closed down and moved away. Large factories are waiting for inspection and resumption of work.

During the waiting days for resumption of work, the factory provides subsistence allowances ranging from 30 yuan to 70 yuan per day for all employees. After paying the five insurance policies, the employees can get 800 yuan to 2000 yuan per month. Several chemical plant employees told reporters that after the shutdown of the plant, a large number of foreign employees left their jobs, which also led to a decline in shop business in a small town near the chemical park. "There's less traffic and business is not easy to do. Let's stick it out for a few more months," said the bakery owner on the Dongzhen Street, not far from the Binhai Chemical Park. The owner of the fruit shop was worried that the fruit could not be sold and began to reduce the quantity of purchases. The steamed buns packed by the kitchen after the restaurant dropped from 20 drawers to 10 drawers every day.

The taxi driver Chen Nan also felt similar changes. "In the past, people often chartered cars to the chemical park to talk about business, a trip back and forth is several hundred yuan, a month can have 67,000 yuan of income, now reduced by one third." Chen Nan said. However, the local people have another view on the stoppage of the chemical industry park.

During the interview, some residents said that they hoped that the chemical plant would be well rectified and safety accidents would be reduced in the future, and the environment would be better.

Some local insiders said that after the renovation, the management of chemical enterprises will be further standardized and unified, and the hidden dangers of safety and environmental protection will be eliminated to a great extent.
