Supervision key to governance

Deputy's canteen visit shows oversight can ensure implementation of laws

One of the major tasks carried out by Wang Zunyi, a deputy to the Xiangyang people's congress in Hubei province, over the past few weeks was conducting an inspection tour of community elderly care service facilities.

His first stop was a canteen in Hanjiang Beilu community in the heart of Xiangyang. When he arrived at the dining room at noon on Oct 9, a number of seniors were chatting while enjoying their meals.

"It just takes me a few minutes to walk from my home to the canteen," Meng Fanzhi, 65, told Wang. "The food here is relatively light, suitable for the elderly, and the price is also cheaper than other restaurants."
