China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department of Urban
Construction summoned provincial and municipal officials on gas-safety
prevention, saying recent incidents exposed clear weaknesses. The ministry
ordered tightened urban gas-safety rectification, accelerated rollout of home
delivery for bottled LPG and on-cylinder safety inspections, and elimination of
user-end hazards in cylinders, pipes, stoves and valves. It instructed
maintaining special task forces, advancing full-chain "one-issue" gas-safety
remediation, and building long-term gas-safety management mechanisms.
