[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) conducted a major cleaning to create a clean and pleasant urban environment and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in celebration of the new spring season.

On the 26th, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., the district carried out cleaning while strictly adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines around major arterial roads, sidewalks, and bus stops within the area.

Additionally, two small water trucks were deployed to wash side streets such as Mat-ui Street and bus stops, and a suction dredger truck was used to collect cigarette butts and other debris from rainwater drains.

On this day, Mayor Kim Seon-gap also participated by washing bus stops around Gunja Station and directly cleaning Mat-ui Street in Neungmaru.

Mayor Kim said, “Although the prolonged COVID-19 situation weighs heavily on our hearts, I hope we can sweep away not only the dust accumulated over the winter but also the difficult memories, welcoming spring with a fresh mindset. Until the day we return to normal life, please do not let your guard down and strictly follow the prevention guidelines.”

Starting with this cleaning, the district plans to regularly operate “Gwangjin Clean Day” on the fourth Wednesday of every month, conducting water cleaning to remove dust and fine particles along major arterial roads. In the future, the district will also coordinate with local traditional market merchant associations to sequentially carry out water cleaning inside markets.
