[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) has launched a snow removal task force room to operate until March 15 next year to ensure rapid snow removal during the winter season and protect residents' safety.

This snow removal plan involves mobilizing 3,915 personnel and deploying 62 snow removal equipment units of 7 types, including multipurpose snow removal vehicles, to ensure smooth traffic flow and reduce inconvenience to residents during heavy snowfall in winter.

In addition, one calcium chloride spreader was placed at each of the 16 community centers in the district, enabling active snow removal not only on main roads but also on back streets in residential areas. Furthermore, 64 snow removal equipment units, including dump trucks and excavators that can be immediately mobilized during heavy snow, have been prepared.

Also, 435 tons of calcium chloride and 470 tons of salt, materials necessary for snow removal, have been secured. Snow removal agent storage boxes have been installed at 77 vulnerable locations such as main roads, mountain passes, and pedestrian overpasses, and 255 snow removal agent storage houses have been selected and pre-stocked in vulnerable back street points in residential areas.

Along with this, 42 tons of snow removal agents have been pre-supplied to 152 apartment complexes in the area to ensure no inconvenience in passage during snowfall, completing preparations in advance.

As snow removal on sidewalks and back streets around buildings has become mandatory, the campaign "Snow Removal in Front of My House and My Store" is being widely promoted to residents to encourage voluntary participation in snow removal, aiming to secure safe passage through snow removal efforts involving citizens.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "We will do our utmost to protect residents' safety by mobilizing all personnel and equipment in preparation for snowfall and heavy snow," and added, "We ask all residents to actively participate in snow removal in front of their homes and stores for effective snow removal operations."
