[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Haman County Council in Gyeongnam Province took the first step of the new year's session schedule for the Year of the Ox by starting the 270th extraordinary session on the 5th.

In the 5-minute free speech, Councilor Jeong Geumhyo proposed various measures such as creating a theme story for Haman's tourism industry to keep pace with the new era after COVID-19.

Following this, Vice Chairman Yoon Kwangsoo urged that the difficulties of watermelon farms be resolved with extraordinary measures rather than temporary event activities.

In response, Vice Chairman Yoon proposed measures including providing disaster relief funds to farms affected by COVID-19, preparing support plans using rural development funds, establishing direct support measures for damaged farms, production adjustment, and agricultural guidance for producing high-quality watermelons.

Additionally, the Haman County Council adopted the "Resolution to Urge the Attraction of a Natural Gas Power Plant in Haman," which was primarily proposed by Councilor Jeong Geumhyo.

In the resolution, all members of the Haman County Council strongly urged job creation through the attraction of the natural gas power plant in Haman, the construction of an eco-friendly power plant, and support for special projects for regional development.

This extraordinary session is scheduled for five days, during which 14 ordinances including the "Haman County Veterans Association Support Ordinance" and the "Haman County Hyanggyo Support Ordinance," as well as the first supplementary budget bill for this year to provide COVID-19 disaster relief funds, will be reviewed and approved at the 2nd plenary session on the 9th.
