China News Service, Lhasa, October 14 (Gonggaraisong) Recently, Linzhou County, Tibet, the "granary of Lhasa", has ushered in the harvest season. Tens of thousands of acres of high-standard farmland spread out like golden silk, with heavy ears of highland barley swaying in the breeze. Large harvesters shuttled across the fields. Under the blue sky and white clouds, a magnificent picture of the plateau's autumn harvest slowly unfolded.
"The yield per mu this year is expected to exceed 700 kilograms! Since the establishment of high-standard farmland, the land has become fertile as it is planted, and the yield has increased year by year." Looking at the grain that is about to be returned to the warehouse, Qiangba Rejie, secretary of the party branch of Qugaqiang Village, Qiangga Township, Linzhou County, could not hide his joy.
How the crops are growing, farmers have their own accounts; how the land is managed, disciplinary inspection and supervision cadres have their own scales.
The Lhasa Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has made the rectification of outstanding problems in the field of high-standard farmland construction a top priority in the centralized rectification of unhealthy tendencies and corruption issues around the masses, ensuring food security with strong political supervision, and protecting farmers' "rice bowl fields" with heart and soul.
Ten years of backward investigation: Full chain supervision without leaving any blind spots
The construction of high-standard farmland is capital-intensive and involves many links, making it easy to become a "high-incidence area" for corruption risks. In Linzhou County, the main grain-producing area in Lhasa, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has strengthened its coordination with the agricultural, rural, and auditing departments, coordinated the township discipline inspection and supervision forces, and focused on the six core links of project approval, bidding, construction, quality acceptance, fund allocation, and later management and maintenance, and carried out "net-style" special supervision of high-standard farmland construction projects implemented since 2017.
"Wherever the high-standard farmland extends, supervision will follow." said the relevant person in charge of the Linzhou County Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee. From May to June this year, the county carried out a two-month special on-site supervision, adopting the "four non-two direct" approach of on-site inspections, information review, and individual interviews to achieve full-cycle, full-coverage supervision of high-standard farmland projects in the county.
In view of the difficulties such as insufficient full-time investigation force and strong professionalism, the discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in Lhasa City innovated supervision mechanisms and took advantage of the agricultural technical team's "familiar people, familiar land, and familiar fields" to organize agricultural technicians to focus on "hardware" problems such as damaged and blocked irrigation and drainage ditches, corrosion and failure of tractor gates, collapsed field roads, and idle and damaged supporting facilities during daily inspections, and established accounts to report to the competent authorities.
"This measure effectively makes up for the shortcomings in the investigation, realizes early detection and early disposal of hidden dangers, and explores a new path of low-cost, high-efficiency, and down-to-earth social investigation." said the person in charge of the Ninth Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the Lhasa Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision.
According to statistics, during the centralized rectification, members of the Lhasa Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision went to Baolian County (district) for dispatch every month to promote the establishment of a "dual special class" operation mechanism for rectification. Through the combination of self-inspection, self-correction and joint inspection, a total of 33 problems such as inadequate management and protection and unreasonable design were discovered. 24 rectifications have been completed and 3 problem clues have been transferred to ensure that the existing problems are cleared out.
Eliminate the Shurats: Zero tolerance investigation and punishment will shock everyone
"The crops are only as good as the flowers." However, some party members and cadres have used crooked ideas to enrich themselves and the public in the construction of high-standard farmland. In this regard, the Lhasa City Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau insisted on "zero tolerance" and resolutely cut off the "black hands" that extended Huinong's funds.
In March this year, the Mozhugongka County Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee seriously investigated and dealt with serious violations of discipline and law by Zha, a former party member and deputy director of the county’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau. This case is the first case of retention of high-standard farmland construction in the Tibet Autonomous Region, creating a strong deterrent effect.
After investigation, it was found that in the high-standard farmland construction project in Tangjia Township, Zha illegally helped the construction party to obtain project funds, and seriously neglected his duties during the acceptance of supporting water canals, causing heavy losses to the interests of the collective and farmers. During this period, Zha took advantage of his position to receive huge benefits.
Since 2026, discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in Lhasa City have handled 16 clues about problems involving high-standard farmland construction and detained 2 people, effectively eliminating the "big rats" that gnawed on the interests of farmers.
"In response to the problems exposed by the case, such as the lack of due diligence, formalized daily supervision, and frequent chaos in project construction, we urge relevant functional departments to establish and improve institutional mechanisms such as project contracting, post-construction management and maintenance, and full-process supervision to ensure that one place is built, one place is managed well, and one place is benefited." said the main person in charge of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee of Mozhu Gongka County.
Keeping supervision and responsibility in mind: using actions to win the trust of the masses
"How many acres of land do we have? How much is our output? Is it all mechanized?"
"There are more than 5 acres of land, and the yield per mu is more than 600 kilograms. Now the land is flat and there is no need for labor to harvest. The time saved can also go out to work, and the income has increased a lot!"
"What difficulties are there at the moment?"
"Irrigation conditions still need to be improved. It is easy to be congested during peak water use periods. We hope that canals can be repaired and water storage tanks can be built."
In Linggang Village, Tarong Town, Nimu County, the dialogue between cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission and villager Basang Dolma was simple and genuine. Nimu County has deep mountains and deep ravines and prominent contradictions between man and land. High-standard farmland is particularly precious. The Nimu County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision knows very well that protecting the people's "fertile land" is to protect the "conscience" of cadres.
"Three points for construction and seven points for management." In response to the problems discovered during the supervision, such as the formality of inspection and operation and maintenance after the completion of the project, and the long-term blockage and damage of irrigation facilities, the Nimu County Discipline Inspection and Supervision Committee adhered to the problem orientation, closely focused on closed-loop rectification and responsibility implementation, and promoted the establishment of a long-term mechanism. The County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision requires the agricultural authorities, townships, and villages to effectively shoulder the main responsibilities and supervisory responsibilities so that high-standard farmland can truly achieve the actual effect of increasing production and income.
Discipline inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in Lhasa City adhere to the combination of "immediate reform" and "long-term establishment", dig deep into the root causes of problems, and promote the establishment of rules and regulations. In 2026, Lhasa City has successively issued institutional documents such as the "Lhasa City High-Standard Farmland Construction Project Review and Implementation Rules", the Lhasa City Agricultural and Rural Field Engineering Project Tendering Administrative Supervision Responsibility List, and the Lhasa City Farmland Soil Improvement Technical Guidelines. This not only institutionally regulates corruption-heavily affected areas such as bidding and acceptance, but also provides clear guidance for the agricultural department to scientifically promote high-standard farmland construction.
"Farmers' high-standard farmland is the responsibility of the Discipline Inspection Commission." The main person in charge of the Lhasa Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that practicing the correct view of political performance is to promote the construction of high-standard farmland into a trustworthy project, a clean project, and a public support project. In the next step, the disciplinary inspection and supervision agencies at all levels in Lhasa City will continue to deepen centralized rectification, and through regular "looking back", "benefiting the people" will be deeply rooted in the original mission and practiced in the fields, so that the "golden rice bowl" of the city's 200,000 farmers will be more stable and secure.
