Reported by (Reporter Zhou Yu): The Ministry of Railways recently held a symposium with the Director and Party Secretary of the Railway Bureau. Sheng Guangzu, the Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Railways, demanded that the construction period of railway construction projects be strictly implemented, the objective laws of engineering construction be respected, and the construction period be scientifically and reasonably determined. The construction period should not be arbitrarily compressed. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the safety of high-speed rail operation, improve the quality of high-speed rail equipment and transportation organization level, and enhance the emergency response capability of high-speed rail.

　Before the meeting, everyone observed a moment of silence

At the beginning of the meeting, all attendees stood up and observed a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the particularly serious railway traffic accident on the Yongwen Line on July 23rd.

Sheng Guangzu said that this particularly serious railway traffic accident caused significant losses to the lives and property of the people, and the lesson was extremely profound. All cadres and workers on the railway felt very sad and guilty. "The lessons of the 'July 23' accident tell us that the safety of railway production is related to the safety of people's lives and property, the development of the railway industry, and the national reputation. The safety of production is as big as the sky, and the responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai."

Sheng Guangzu demanded that the entire railway must fully recognize the importance of ensuring transportation safety, enhance crisis awareness and responsibility awareness, firmly establish the concept of safe and scientific development, and ensure the safety and stability of railway transportation.

　　Strictly prohibit arbitrary compression of project duration

Sheng Guangzu pointed out that the most urgent task at present is to learn from the pain, draw lessons, and quickly stabilize the railway transportation safety situation. We should prioritize the safety of high-speed trains and passenger cars, implement emergency safety measures, and achieve long-term stability in railway transportation safety.

Therefore, the Ministry of Railways has decided to strictly implement the construction period of railway construction projects, with engineering quality as the core, respecting the objective laws of engineering construction, scientifically and reasonably determining the schedule arrangement, and no unit or individual shall arbitrarily compress the schedule to ensure the orderly progress of construction projects. The quality and various conditions of the new line project must meet safety requirements. To carry out key processes such as static acceptance, joint debugging and testing, operational testing, initial engineering inspection, and safety assessment, all issues must be rectified before the official opening.

　Enhance the disaster prevention capability of high-speed rail

To ensure the safe operation of high-speed rail, the Ministry of Railways has decided to comprehensively improve the quality of high-speed rail equipment, focus on the rectification and maintenance of hidden dangers in high-speed rail signal equipment, high-speed trains, and power supply system equipment, strengthen the maintenance and management of high-speed rail lines and disaster prevention systems, and ensure that equipment quality is in good condition; Improve the level of high-speed rail transportation organization, achieve refined management of train safety by high-speed rail dispatching, strengthen train organization work under abnormal circumstances, and ensure the safety of train operation; Improve the emergency response capability of high-speed rail, accelerate the construction of high-speed rail disaster prevention system, focus on preventing fires, rain, snow, freezing, strong winds, heavy fog and geological changes, strengthen the maintenance of disaster prevention equipment and facilities, and fully play the role of disaster prevention system.

　　>>Investigation into high-speed train accidents

We will give the public a responsible explanation

The State Administration of Work Safety held a meeting yesterday to analyze the safety production situation in the first half of the year. At the meeting, Luo Lin, Director of the State Administration of Work Safety, stated that the investigation team for the "7.23" Yongwen Railway traffic accident will * investigate the cause of the accident and provide a responsible explanation to the people.

Luo Lin said that after entering July, a series of major accidents occurred one after another, shocking the domestic and international "7.23" Yongwen Line high-speed train rear end particularly serious railway traffic accidents, causing painful losses to the safety of people's lives and property, and causing very adverse social impacts. The investigation team for the "7.23" Yongwen Railway traffic accident established by the State Council has been conducting an investigation for a week, with 26 members from the State Administration of Work Safety. Luo Lin said that the investigation team will adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, investigate the cause of the accident, seriously hold the responsible persons accountable, and give the people a responsible explanation.

In July, there were particularly serious accidents such as the "7.22" sleeper bus burning accident in Weihai, Shandong on a highway in Nanyang, Henan, as well as coal mine flooding accidents in Heshan, Guangxi and Pingtang, Guizhou, rear end collision and overturning accidents on highways in Xiantao, Hubei, and multiple bridge and tunnel collapse accidents.

　　>>Compensation for high-speed train accidents

Compensation for drivers who died in the line of duty is comparable to that of passengers who died

According to Xinhua News Agency, it was learned from Nanchang Railway Bureau yesterday that the compensation amount for Pan Yiheng, the driver who died in the "7.23" high-speed train accident, will be implemented according to the same standard as the compensation plan for the deceased passengers.

According to sources from Nanchang Railway Bureau, the compensation for Pan Yiheng, the driver of the D301 high-speed train who died in the "7.23" accident, has attracted much attention. However, some related rumors online recently are basically untrue. It is understood that in the early stage, Pan Yiheng's family received more than 50000 yuan from the insurance company, which was the personal insurance claim amount before his death.

The railway has made it clear that the compensation amount will follow the same standard as the compensation plan for passengers who died in the accident. The unit will also make every effort to further care for and assist the future work and life of Pan Yiheng's family.

In the "7.23" accident, Pan Yiheng, the driver of the D301 high-speed train, decisively took emergency braking measures when a danger occurred and remained at his post until he sacrificed himself
