[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Seo Chunsu, the mayor of Hamyang County, urged thorough election preparations and strict political neutrality among public officials regarding the by-election to be held on April 7 during an executive meeting.

On the morning of the 22nd, the county held an executive meeting chaired by Mayor Seo, where reports were given on important pending projects to be promoted by each department.

On this day, Mayor Seo emphasized, “In the difficult situation caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, please encourage active voter participation so that the voter turnout in the by-election is not low,” and added, “Make thorough preparations to ensure that there are no disruptions in voting, and public officials must maintain political neutrality.”

He continued, “For the smooth operation of the temporary auction market for agricultural and forestry products opening today, the participation of farmers and foresters is most important, so active promotion is necessary,” and requested, “Going forward, the temporary auction market will play an important role in selling our Jirisan Hamyang’s agricultural and forestry products, such as wild ginseng auctions, so please ensure thorough promotion.”

Until now, small-scale or minor agricultural products have faced difficulties due to lack of sales channels or receiving appropriate prices, but with the opening of this temporary auction market for agricultural and forestry products, it is expected that the sales channel issues for farmers and foresters can be resolved.

In addition, he requested thorough efforts in promoting the expansion of Hamyang Love Gift Certificate affiliated stores, the upcoming opening of Daebongsan Recreation Valley, wildfire prevention, securing national and provincial funds, early budget execution, population increase, and preparations for the expo, among other urgent pending tasks.

Mayor Seo emphasized, “With COVID-19 continuously spreading in neighboring local governments, we must not loosen our vigilance and must tighten quarantine measures,” and urged, “Please strictly comply with social distancing level 1.5, including prohibiting private gatherings of five or more people and refraining from going out, with public officials leading by example.”
