[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has designated March and April as the "Spring Special Environmental Cleanup Period" to inspect cleanliness throughout the district and conduct large-scale cleaning.

Approximately 700 district office and neighborhood officials participate daily.

The district deploys 27 water trucks with capacities ranging from 8 to 24 tons and 17 dust suction and street cleaning vehicles to spray high-pressure water, removing the accumulated grime from winter.

This effort aims to maintain a pleasant urban environment across the entire area. Previously, the 22 neighborhood community centers collected residents' opinions and selected 640 bus and taxi stops, 69 parks, and 7 back alley areas vulnerable to poor cleaning for focused inspection.

The district simultaneously carries out cleaning and repainting of facilities such as ▲illegal advertisement removals, ▲central median green zones and street tree guards, ▲bus stops and bicycle racks, ▲street vendor stands, ▲aged guardrails and snow removal boxes, and ▲rainwater drains.

On the 10th, a major cleaning will be conducted at COEX in Samseong-dong and the Food Culture Specialty Street. The district will deploy 121 sanitation workers and 14 maintenance vehicles to wash and disinfect facilities simultaneously.

Jeong Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, emphasized, "In 'Must-Environment City, Gangnam,' protecting the environment is an essential condition," adding, "We will not be satisfied with being ranked first in cleanliness by Seoul citizens for two consecutive years, but will continue to strive to improve street environments tailored to each resident's perspective and proactively implement daily quarantine measures."
