Do not let the situation of avoiding or pushing work away in performing tasks, taking advantage of policies when proposing, reviewing, and resolving policies and regimes according to authority.
Third, strictly handle cases and violations of profiteering and violations in reviewing and resolving policies and regimes for subjects under management according to the provisions of law.
