Regarding the first New Year's Eve party, relevant units have been asked to focus on traffic, crowd flow planning, garbage removal and response to recent confirmed cases. Due to the increase in the number of people, appropriate plans have been made for epidemic prevention. Before Jiang Wanan took office, he invited Ke Wenzhe to attend the New Year's Eve at the handover meeting, but he was hit hard, but he was still not discouraged.

And Jiang Wanan also fulfilled his first election campaign yesterday, and visited the cleaning team members on the first day of work; Jiang Wanan said that in addition to cheering the hard-working cleaning team members, he also got to know each other face to face, especially the cleaning team members dealt with garbage removal, kitchen waste recycling, Ditch dredging, etc., are often cleaned on the street early in the morning. The hard work is worth seeing. In the future, it is planned to visit the police, firefighters and other front-line city government colleagues to listen to their voices and needs, so as to make the municipal promotion smoother.
