This is part of a new set of regulations from the Beijing Municipal Construction Committee, which is currently soliciting reactions from the public. The regulations also include a rule that requires management companies to respond to clients' requests within two days.

The second headline tells of the approval of a proposal for Line 6 of the Beijing subway system. According to the article, the new line, given the go-ahead by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning yesterday, starts from Wulu Station in Haidian District and goes east along Linglong Road, Sanlihe Road, and North Chaoyang Road, before arriving at East Xiaoying Station.
