CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On August 17, the reporter learned from the Chongqing Development and Reform Commission that the office of Chongqing energy conservation and emission reduction leading group issued a proposal for saving electricity to the citizens of the whole city. The contents were as follows:

Since July, there have been two rounds of large-scale continuous high temperature and less rainfall in our city. The temperature is significantly higher than the annual years, while the rainfall is significantly less. The meteorological department has continuously issued a red alert for high temperature. Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chongqing Municipal People's Government attach great importance to it, strengthening organization, leadership, overall planning and dispatch. And all departments at all levels take prompt actions to take effective measures to orderly promote the work of heatstroke prevention, drought relief and disaster alleviation.

At present, the continuous high temperature weather has greatly magnified the power load of our city, and the pressure on power supply continues to rise. We propose that all citizens should use electricity in an orderly and economical manner. Party and government organs, state-owned enterprises and institutions should play a leading role, starting from now, from themselves and from every little bit, to contribute to city safety and stable running.
