Heated Debate in Taichung City Council Over Social Housing Construction Site Fire

A fire broke out at the Xinping Haoshi social housing construction site in Taichung. The city government fined the project NT$5 million for air pollution and ordered work to halt. During a city council session, DPP councilors accused the city government of poor supervision and shifting blame to the central government. Mayor Lu Shiow-yen fiercely defended the city's actions, questioning if the councilors were sheltering the contractors. The exchange led to a heated argument in the council.
