[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Han-hyeok] On the 4th, Naju City in Jeollanam-do announced that it conducted an on-site inspection of environmental basic facilities to manage a pleasant living environment ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

A city official said, “Please ensure perfection in establishing an emergency response system so that there are no disruptions in facility operations during the holiday period,” and added, “We will do our best to promote odor prevention projects so that residents who have long suffered from odor problems can live in a pleasant environment as soon as possible.”
